I've created a page on wiki.asterisk.org outlining some changes we're proposing to make to the Asterisk release and support cycles. As always, before implementing any changes of this type, we'd like to collect some community feedback on the proposal.

The LTR releases have a shorter support/life cycle and 10 is not an LTR. That accounts for the shorter life on 10. This is why I like this proposal. We would get faster LTR releases and that would allow us to have newer features sooner but still offer existing deployments security fixes on LTR releases.

Which means that the release will just barely not make it, and we're probably stuck with either 1.8 or 10 . Given that we'll need to maintain it for ~4 years, 1.8 is preffered to 10. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
