The 6.0 LTS will be supported for a while after the next LTS is
announced. I can't find an official number, but I am pretty confident
that the overlap will be at least six months.

I would, without a doubt, switch to 6.0. By now, the current 6.0 is
just as new as 6.1 and maybe also 6.2, with all the back ports which
have been done. We will also continue to back port fixes, and even
some features, to 6.0.

Are there any fetures in 6.2 or master that you need? Are there any
problems with 6.0, that you run into?

Best,
Pål Hermunn Johansen

Thanks for the info. Good to know that about the release cyclus.

My clients are LTS orientated, not feature orientated. They're
interested more in a long term solution ("we can use Varnish in Version
X for Y years") than looking for a specific feature ("we need feature A
from Version B").

Currently I'm not aware of any problems with 6.0 or 6.2 so I can choose
between them. And that brought my to my inital question of the LTS
support of 6.0. I think we switch to Varnish 6.0 to avoid VSV00003.

Thank you for your support.
