One of the reasons I'd like to remove "early adopters" is that as the 
newest branch matures, it's actually ideal for everyone and not just 
early adopters. For instance, the LibreOffice 24.2 branch is now at the 
fourth point release and definitely suitable for day-to-day use in 
production environments.

I don't think any ecosystem company provides support for our older 
branch directly, but rather for their own products based on LibreOffice. 
So I think we need to be careful not to mix our messaging. The older 
release, as it's been tested for longer, may indeed be more suitable for 
"conservative" environments.

But business users shouldn't get the older branch assuming it gets 
longer support (LTS) or anything like that. Businesses doing large 
deployments should still consider the ecosystem...

Cheers,
Mike
