[DISCUSS] Release cadence and EOL

Forking off this discussion from 2.6.5 release thread. Junping and Chris T have brought up important concerns regarding too many concurrent releases and the lack of EOL for our releases. First up, it would be nice to hear from others on our releases having the notion of EOL and other predictabilit

Re: [Release thread] 2.6.5 release activities

I am OK with going forward for 2.6.5 release given some people may not be ready for migration to 2.7 and we have done some preparation work already. Thanks Chris for pushing the release work forward! About future releases of 2.6 (after 2.6.5) or any other legacy releases, I think it worth more d
