Hi Luca,

Sorry I forgot this patch you sent one month ago.

09/02/2018 14:04, Luca Boccassi:
> +	<h2 id="stable">Stable releases</h2>
> +	<p>Stable point releases follow mainline releases.
> +	<p>After each -rc tag and after the final version, relevant bug fixes get

It is a good description of the current process.
When this patch is applied, I would like to discuss having a first
stable release before the next major release.

> +	<h3 id="stable">Stable releases roadmap</h3>

No need for this title if below is a table.

> +	<p>16.11 is an LTS release, and is going to be maintained by Luca Boccassi until the end of
> +        2018, with the latest point release following the release of 18.11 in November 2018.
> +	<p>17.11 is an LTS release, and is going to be maintained by Yuanhan Liu until the end of
> +        2019, with the latest point release following the release of 19.11 in November 2019.

We should include non LTS releases and make it a table:
	branch    next version    date    end of life    maintainer
