We discussed that at length in various other mailing threads Jeff - kind of settled on "we're committing to cutting a major (semver MAJOR or MINOR) every 12 months but want to remain flexible for exceptions when appropriate".
And then we discussed our timeline for 5.0 this year and settled on the "let's try and get it out this calendar year so it's 12 months after 4.1, but we'll grandfather in TCM and Accord past freeze date if they can make it by October". So that's the history for how we landed here. > 2) Do we drop the support of 3.0 and 3.11 after 5.0.0 is out or after 5.1.0 > is? This is my understanding, yes. Deprecation and support drop is predicated on the 5.0 release, not any specific features or anything.
