Maybe my verbosity made it unclear, so just in case, what I was trying to say is that I consider Extended Maintenance to be a failed experiment and agree we should be talking about either reverting to the prior process from before EM was a thing or finding an alternative process that doesn't have so many of the obvious shortcomings of EM.
People said if we just stopped EOL'ing branches so soon they would show up and help make use of those branches. They didn't, and so the expected benefits never materialized.
I agree, my main concern is that we do this well across the whole set of projects, not have a variety of projects doing different things.
There is space on the summit schedule to discuss this as a community. https://vancouver2023.openinfra.dev/a/schedule#title=How%20do%20we%20end%20the%20Extended%20Maintenance&view=calendar I'll create an etherpad ASAP. Yours Tony.
