[GitHub] [arrow-datafusion] andygrove opened a new issue, #5269: Discuss release cadence / patch releases / LTS

**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
- We release a major DataFusion version with breaking changes every two weeks.
- This creates work for downstream projects.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
- In parallel with the frequent major releases, offer "long-term support" for one major version for an extended period (perhaps three months?).
- This would allow downstream projects to pick up bug fixes and performance improvements without much work and then schedule major upgrades once per quarter.
- Other projects can upgrade every two weeks if they wish to.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Keep things as they are.
**Additional context**

I would be in favor of a LTS branch for sure -- the thing that is needed is the maintainer bandwidth to manage it (for example, to backport API compatible changes)

Is there a risk this would encourage people to only update once every 3 months? I'm not sure we're at a level of API stability where performing 3 months of upgrades in one go wouldn't be a fraught experience?

Yes, that is definitely a risk.
