Hello John! I am still struggling to understand how the project makes release decisions. I don't think your question makes sense without considering target release dates, at least in a yearly resolution, given the massive amount of work involved with switching kernel versions. So my question is: Is it realistic to expect an OpenWrt release with v5.4 next year? Because if it isn't, then v5.4 is really a waste of time IMHO. You should target the next longterm kernel after v5.4 instead for the first 2021 release. And of course, if you think a 2020 release with v5.4 is realistic, then there's an open question on what to do with v4.19. Are two OpenWrt releases next year likely/possible? If not, then v5.4 should probably replace v4.19 as the current target kernel as soon as possible. Yes, I know what your meeting minutes says. But two releases in 2019 is obviously not going to happen. And personally I don't see how that's suddenly going to change for 2020 unless you do something drastic to simplify the release process. Yes, that means lowering the standards. Maybe making releases that won't be maintained, and therefore don't need to be "future proof"?
