Rafael - you're digressing from the discussion. You're right with the semantic versioning definition but we don't really follow the referenced wiki/document by the word.
The wiki has gone through several changes where they were not all agreed and voted on. Per the original intent and our understanding, the versioning scheme (since the first 4.0.0 release) we follow is "4.x.y.z" where a change in x makes it a major release, and when it's y is the minor release and z is for security release. Therefore, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 are all major releases and all releases till date have been referenced, announced as such. The proposal of a 5.0.0 is a recent one, and has many potential ill effects on our community and our users, and therefore is greatly opposed.

Have we discussed the 5.0.0 already? 4.13 is not a major release. At least, according with this page [1], 4.13 is considered a minor one. > For those that may not be familiar with Semantic Versioning, the number > format is: X.Y.Z, where X is the major version, Y is the minor version, Z > is the patch number. > [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Releases On Fri, Apr 19, 2019 at 12:11 PM Andrija Panic <andrija.pa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Vladimir, > > is it possible that you upgrade management and hypervisors hosts for the > next major release - we are not talking removing packaging support for > current LTS release/updates but for the next MAJOR release. > > Upgrading management hosts is as simple as introducing additional ones and > removing old ones. > > Regards, > Andrija > rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com www.shapeblue.com Amadeus House, Floral Street, London WC2E 9DPUK @shapeblue > On Fri, 19 Apr 2019 at 16:31, Vladimir Melnik <v.mel...@uplink.ua> wrote: > > > Dear colleagues, > > > > As for me, I still have 3 hosts running CentOS 6 and 2 management servers > > in one of my production environments. > > > > Also I have 1 management servers running CentOS 6 in another environment. > > > > If my voice counts, I'd propose -1. > > > > Thanks for attention :-) > > > > On Mon, Apr 15, 2019 at 07:44:58AM +0000, Rohit Yadav wrote: > > > All, > > > > > > > > > With CentOS8 around the corner to be released sometime around the > > summer, I would like to propose to deprecate CentOS6 as support > management > > server host distro and KVM host distro.
