5.15 is also LTS but it's treated the same as 5.14 for open-source. Likewise, 6.2 will be LTS but it's the support that is gated, not the release. Or is this

5.15 is also LTS but it's treated the same as 5.14 for open-source.
Likewise, 6.2 will be LTS but it's the support that is gated, not the release.
Or is this not the case?
- nly 6y agoThat's entirely up to them. They've blogged that 6.2 as LTS and announced that LTS branches won't be public until they're a year old. Why would they make 6.2.0 a public FOSS release and then withhold 6.2.1 for a year? And even if they did, would you want to use a .0 release on your project? No, it seems likely to me that 6.2 will effectively be closed source when it's announced, and open source releases will follow after a year.
