Sorry for not replying. I wanted to see what others thought first.
I also think that LTS only is the best way forward. Then having a second
edition to fix issues.
It least that way the project stays alive.

Sounds okay to me, especially as the next release is an LTS which will

I thought their corporate branding looked suspicious. Turns out they are

obviously isn't a bad thing.

it is probably because there are some commits that conflict with local

It might be a good idea copy your changes elsewhere and pull a new copy of

Then compare your changes with the new copy of upstream.

When I suggested a new features guide, I was thinking more of a guide rather
than a leaflet.
Especially if you cover how they work as well as what they are. As well as
having a cover page, index etc.
