But the Ubuntu versioning schema depends on the <year> and <month> of 
the release and it doesn't show any relation to our choice for the 
version names. So what would you draw from it other than that every 4th 
release is LTS?

Anyways - I just made a small "survey" among the AOE project managers 
and they confirmed that "LTS" is at least important to sell the 
software. Even clients who didn't receive "LTS" in the end, used the 
existence of it to convince themselves to use TYPO3. From what I see (in 
our company), it doesn't seem many of our projects sticking with LTS in 
the end, I'd say that's mainly due to the fact that upgrades are quite 
easy. Would be interesting to hear from other agencies.

Anyway (to go a little offtopic) - what I still dislike is that the 6.2 
LTS version could be followed by a 6.3 version. Imho this version 
shouldn't be named "6.2" but "6.5" to have a strong relation to the old 
LTS and it should ideally be followed by "7.0".

In addition as already pointed out, I really dislike that the 6month 
release cycle topic is questioned again and again.

Cheers,
Tolleiv
