We have not. Since we've agreed to use semver, my personal opinion is that we provide security and high priority critical bug fixes (at our discretion) for the latest minor release of the previous 1 major version. So when we get to 5.y.z, we maintain security fixes for 4.y.z (whatever the latest is) until 6.0.0. That might not work for everyone though... thoughts? > (I can think of arguments for/against LTS-type releases, but my main > concern is simply having a decision - I know it's a question I'd have if > I was considering adopting ACS.
