Clarify LTS, support and number of releases

Open afrittoli opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

The policy covers support for releases but it does not explicitly mention LTS anywhere, term which is used in releases.md files across Tekton projects. Introduce the LTS term and explain how it relates to the policy.

The term support is not clarified today - it implicitly aligns to what we do today, so make that explicit in the policy and list reason that justify a new patch release.

The policy today talks about four supported releases which matches the Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct used by several projects in their releases.md. To match that we shall do an LTS release every three months, not four. Kubernets does three minor/major releases per year, so in fact this policy does not align to the kubernets one, thus remove the sentece about that.

FYI @wlynch - follow up on your comments on Tekton chains releases.md - I also noticed a discrepancy so fixed that too. FYI @tektoncd/governing-board
