Hello Adam, I'm not sure how can a LTS branch that you usually never update (except CVE, security fixes) take more time than quarterly branches that you need to recreate every 3 months and do some merges. Basically, a LTS branch stay in marble for a release lifetime and will only contain sporadic commits for security fixes or vulnerabilities. That's mostly what Slackware does for a release version. For someone who wants bleeding edge, they use slackware-current. Regards, -- David
