[Starlingx-discuss] [Release] Soliciting feedback on next stx maintenance releases

[Khalil, Ghada]

Hello all,
The release team is trying to assess the need for issuing maintenance releases for stx.2.0 & stx.3.0.

The last stx.2.0 release (stx.2.0.2) was released in October 2019.
The last stx.3.0 release (stx.3.0) was release in December 2019.

Since then there have been a number of fixes sourced in both release branches to address bugs and vulnerabilities (see [1] & [2] below). 

Due to community resourcing constraints (especially in the test teams) and the focus on stx.4.0, we have not been able to schedule maintenance releases. If you are actively using stx.2.0 or stx.3.0 and have a strong need for a maintenance release, please let us know what release time-line is needed to meet your plans. 

Please also note that in the meantime you can build your own load from the appropriate release branch.

[1] stx.2.0 branch: https://review.opendev.org/#/q/projects:+starlingx+branch:r/stx.2.0 
[2] stx.3.0 branch: https://review.opendev.org/#/q/projects:+starlingx+branch:r/stx.3.0 

Regards,
Ghada, Bruce & Bill
