Even 'if' there was an LTS-only policy then there will always be a

No-one is going to sit back and then suddenly in 2 years wake up, get

we are - people don't) then suddenly be in a position to release something.

I grab kernel's from -proposed, I do no more than what's just around the

LTS is for those users.

Experimenters can join in the dev version almost as soon as the latest 
release releases.
