Here's just one example of an idea ...
We could do something similar to some other distros:
- Have an LTS (Long-Term Support) release based on upstream's stable releases
- Have a semi-rolling snapshot release based on upstream --current, perhaps semiannually
So, freenix 14.2 would be the latest LTS, the next LTS would be based on the next upstream stable release, and then we could start releasing semiannual snapshot releases based on --current at the time of release, and named like freenix 15.0.1, 15.0.2, etc.
If upstream goes another 3+ years without a stable release, freenix would have roughly 6 releases, keeping up with --current, while retaining the option for people to stick with the LTS if they want to.
