[TYPO3-core] After the LTS is before the LTS

Hi Ernesto (and all),

The blueprint has matured nicely and the proposal looks good. I have 
been thinking about the impact for documentation. I would propose the 
following (not yet discussed inside the Documentation Team):

After the release of a LTS version (and maybe after a short 
stabilization phase), the Documentation Team creates branches for all 
maintained manuals so that news features can start being added. However 
the documentation is "developed" continuously until the next LTS 
release, i.e. the Doc Team would not try to have the documentation ready 
at each EAR release. I would imagine marking the documentation as 7.x, 
then mark it as 7.23 (to keep in line with the example in the blueprint) 
once the LTS release happens.

So the Doc Team would try to keep as up to date as possible during the 
development process, but would really polish things (and create new 
documentations branches) only for the actual LTS versions.

Does that sound reasonable?

Cheers
