[Discuess] Dubbo support Roadmap
Hi All,
We currently maintain too many versions (2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2...),
and the roadmap of the end of each version has not been determined.
So, I would like to start a discussing on the plan of Dubbo.
I suggest that we define the roadmap of new versions as follows:
*Feature for 6 months.* After that will not merge any feature and will make
the version stable.
*Bugfix for 12 months*. After that will not merge any bugfix except
security issues.
*Security maintain for 18 months.*
In order to make it more clearly, I will enumerate both from the
maintenance roadmap of each version and what we have to do at
each point in time.
Version Status
2.7
2022.9 ~ 2023.3 Security
2023.3 ~ EOL

Fair enough.
This is a website[1] which has some information about support roadmap
for some open source projects.
Most of projects provides 1-3 years security support, so compare that,
I believe current proposal is make sense.

Re: [Discuess] Dubbo support Roadmap

I think we probably don't need such a long term support version at the
moment.
The roadmap is based on Dubbo 3, and we will distinguish the
upgrade compatibility of each minor version.
Otherwise, I am afraid that if we declare that one of the versions will be
long term support, users will not use other versions.

I agree to have a clean support model so it can make it clear for all users.
I'm thinking if we also need something like a long term support version?
