Appearance
Plasma LTS
LTS is mostly a lie since we don't really test our backports and also there's no Frameworks or Gear LTS releases anyway.
Mostly used by Kubuntu.
Could move to a policy of backporting only security fixes, but also doing it to the last N versions, rather than just defined LTS versions
OR, we could just provide patches, and we do it for Plasma, Frameworks, and Gear.
Conclusion:
- Cancel the Plasma LTS product/don't make a new LTS release
- Message heavily to users of LTS distros that they need to reporting issues to their distro, not to us. Use https://kde.org/distributions for this!
- Provide security *patches* for everything as needed
- Provide 1 more more bugfix release starting in 6.3
- Revisit 6 month release schedule at Akademy
- Talk to: translators, distros, sysadmin CI people
