Process/LTS/Addenda

Timeline

 * February 29th, 2020 - Initial announcement
 * May 5th, 2020 - Pilot program proposal

Issue severity levels
Severity 1, 2, 3, 4 maps roughly to:


 * 1) Unbreak now! and high priority bugs
 * 2) High priority and Normal bugs
 * 3) Normal, medium, low priority bugs
 * 4) Features

Open Issues
LTS also introduces a potential confusion with multiple Blender versions co-existing. This problem is not unique to LTS, but aggravated here:


 * The communication is to focus in the latest version, with a hint to the upcoming beta release. This reaches most of the users.
 * Early adopters and bug reporters are directed to the daily builds, focusing mostly on master.
 * LTS members get their Blender from a different page / update system. Bugs reported in an LTS version are treated as any other bug, and if already fixed in master are considered closed.
