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 predictability is indeed of interest. Secondly, I believe EOLs work better in conjunction with a predictable cadence. Given past discussions on this and current periods between our minor releases, I would like to propose a minor release on the latest major line every 6 months and a maintenance release on the latest minor release every 2 months. Eager to hear others thoughts. Thanks Karthik --001a11407ee887ae870539e87b54--
