Hum why that besides the channel change they'd be identical, I
don't see the need to keep two channels with the same product.
What's the point in keeping ESR and release based on the same
ESR code ?<br>

<br>
Keeping them separate gives the opportunity for intermediate
releases if we have a significant amount of features ready. If we
didn't have separate channels, then we wouldn't be able to do
those intermediate releases because we'd be breaking the ESR
promise. As we don't yet know the amount of contributions that
we'll get going forward I feel it would be better to keep the
opportunity available rather than take it away. We can always
review it in a year or two.<br>

Would it be possible to guesstimate what would happen in an
"average" release cycle by looking at the changes from TB 10-now?<br>
