+Beyond the .0 release of an OVN version, we will schedule further regular
+releases from its development branch. The most recent release branch, as well
+as the current LTS branch, will receive new releases every two months. If the
+most recent release branch is an LTS branch, then that branch alone will have
+releases made every two months. Other standard-term support branches that are
+still under support will receive new releases every three months. If for some
+reason, no changes occur to a supported OVN branch during a release period,
+then no release will be made on that branch for that period. Therefore, there
+is no guarantee about the exact number of releases to be expected for any given
+OVN version.

Release Calendar
----------------
The OVN team has had no concrete policy regarding when releases are made for a given version. In the past, new releases have been made only when something critical has been found, meaning that most bug fixes applied to a given OVN version never end up in a release. This change proposes a regular release schedule. The most recent branch and the current LTS will receive releases every two months. Other standard-term support branches still under support will have releases made every three months.
