I was approached that Debian LTS is causing some friction / unforseen side
effects in some other Debian teams (*) and am currently collecting examples,
and have added this to my list. Here a paid activity (the zsh upload) is
causing work to volunteers who haven't (neccessarily) volunteered to do LTS
work.
Mind you: this is just an example and as far as I know the ftpmasters are
in general happy to support LTS within reason. (Just pressuring just after 48h
after the initial request might be a bit too much. Dunno.)
If you know other such examples / areas, please let me now.
I'm also vaguely pondering to do a survey among the Debian developers / teams.
Given LTS is now 6 years old I think this could be useful.
(*) while stil being seen positive and desired.
