[Maria-developers] MariaDB release and support policies

Hello! Does MariaDB promise a 8 year release cycle for 5.5 as MySQL does? Does all of the points listed at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2014-February/001812.html apply for MariaDB as well? Can we promise Ubuntu that all MariaDB minor releases fulfill the quality requirements listed above? If so, I'll then file a micro release update permission request for Ubuntu. AFAIK as I know it is the only way to get security releases to users anyway. PS. Do you people know about semver.org and try to follow the general versioning policy? -- Check out our blog at http://seravo.fi/blog and follow @ottokekalainen
