Rest assured progress is being made.
- vbezhenar 8y agoSounds like we won't have them in the next LTS, so probably another 5 years at least.
- chvid 8y agoNext lts is 14 which is due in a year as I understand the new release schedule.
- aardvark179 8y agoNo, the next scheduled LTS will be 17. The idea is that 1 release every 3 years will be an LTS release. I’m not sure what would happen if values landed in 18, it might be an important enough change for people to want break the LTS cadence.
