SuiteCRM 7.10 released as non LTS version!?

[cumanacr]

Issue

SuiteCRM 7.10 should be an LTS release version according to RoadMap

Expected Behavior

SuiteCRM 7.10 labeled as an LTS release version or RoadMap corrected

Actual Behavior

SuiteCRM 7.10 isn't an LTS release version yet!? or RoadMap is wrong

Possible Fix

Fix RoadMap or relabelling SuiteCRM 7.10 as SuiteCRM 7.10 LTS

Hi @cumanacr
You are correct (and so is the roadmap) :)
This is a LTS release, but we will attach the LTS label to it when it has gone through the intensive bug fixing sprints following the 'version 0' release. This post-production bug fixing sprints usually deploys a couple of minor releases (v7.10.1/2) to ensure that when we apply LTS that we can guarantee a greater stability and security of the 7.10 version

I would prefer that a .0 its the LTS version, not some random number afterwards

@samus-aran Road Map said is SuiteCRM 7.10.x so 7.10.0 should be LTS as @horus68 indicates, this should be more straightforward indeed, regards

I can't say I agree with the objectors here :-)

7.10 is LTS, and it will have a life of around two years, it really makes no difference if the first week or two it isn't called LTS.

And since LTS implies a certain assurance of robustness, and that robustness is very hard to achieve in this project, due to the characteristics of the code and the diversity of the community, I think it's a good idea to be patient and let the robustness come with the successive minor releases.

When we have better test coverage we can dispense with these things, but for now, I think it's wise and it doesn't really have any costs except a bit of patience. This is just my personal opinion, of course, it's understandable that others might see things differently.
