I know most people using ffmpeg are using the latest git anyway, but if I were to value stable releases and seeing that this release is LTS, I would wonder: how long is long term in this context (2 year, 5 years) and does it just mean long term security updates or can I expect backports as well? Without any detail, I think the designation LTS raises more questions than it answers. I think it is important to manage expectations here, people might expect certain aspects of this release to be kept up-to-date which were never intended to be part of the 'support'. I know this is all quite vague, but repeating myself: I don't know the rationale for this release being designated LTS, so I can't come up with something either. I see there are 9 releases that got updates in the last 2 months. If the LTS designation is meant to, going forward, lower the number of releases that get support for such a long time, this is something that can be stated as well. Something like: "to keep the amount of work to maintain releases reasonable, going forward only LTS releases can be expected to get security updates for more than 1 year." Just some thoughts. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
