- pron 2y agoI think Canonical do something similar, but as to other LTSs -- some do tip & tail and some don't. The key is that tails get only security patches and fixes to major bugs and rarely anything else. This is what offers stability and keeps maintaining multiple tails cheap (which means you can have more of them). Even some JDK vendors can't resist offering those who want the comforting illusion of stability (while actually taking on more real risk) "tail patches" that include enhancements.
