   * Questions from Intel Test about the use of the Stable Tree.
     Do people use it? Each stable/LTS release requires a lot of
     testing and there are currently 3 releases to be tested.

We do @ infinite io.

+1.  Red Hat also uses the LTS releases.

I assume the question is around stable tree, not LTS.
We have LTS trees: 16.11, 17.11, 18.11
And a stable tree valid for one release, latest stable tree will be: 18.08.x

In the existence of the LTS, do we need to keep stable tree?

I misunderstood the question I guess.  I saw 'stable/LTS' and assumed it
was lumping them together, sorry.

Red Hat uses the LTS trees.  We don't use the 'stable' tree (ie: Red Hat
won't use 19.08.1).  Kevin can correct me if i got something wrong here.

Not sure to understand this question.
Yes we need 18.08.1 which is supposed to be more stable than 18.11.0.

I'm curious why there are three?
Isn't 16.11 deprecated now that 18.11 is released?  Maybe I
misunderstand that part.

16.11 will have latest release and later EOL. For one release there are three
LTS, other times two.

16.11.9 was supposed to be tested and released before 18.11.1.
The plan was to have only 2 LTS at a time.

I was under the impression that the instant (X+2).11 releases, X.11 is
EOL.  I guess that's for someone else to explain (maybe a candidate for
something in doc/guides/.../release_cadence.rst to help clarify)?
