I'm +1 on 3 branches, and thus ~3 years of support. So in the transition, would we aim to keep 3.11 until after 4.0 and a successor are released? On Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 11:44 AM Benjamin Lerer wrote: > > > > > Are we also trying to reach a consensus here that a release branch should > > be suppo

+1 to both yearly release and periodic snapshots. As far as timing goes, I would like to avoid picking a specific date for release, and instead choose something like "the first Wednesday of May" or something. On Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 10:20 AM Sam Tunnicliffe wrote: > > +1 to both the yearly cadenc

+1 from me on the yearly cadence fwiw. The space this project is in (infra software) is directly at odds for many users' preferred release cadence (preferably never or bugfix only for existing / stable projects) compared to how fast the NoSQL / database ecosystem is evolving; once a year seems to s
