41- .. However, we do intend to create and maintain designated "long-term support" (LTS)
42- branches for at least major version of ASDF in a similar way as what is described
43- for ``astropy`` in `APE 2 <https://github.com/astropy/astropy-APEs/blob/main/APE2.rst>`_.
44- This means that for every new major version of ASDF, say version ``a.0`` we will
45- designate and maintain ``a.0.x`` as the LTS branch of ASDF for at least one year.
46- During this time we will try to ensure that the LTS branch receives bugfixes and
47- has regular releases. After one year, we may decide to designate a new LTS branch
48- for ASDF if no new major versions of ASDF have been released; otherwise, we will
49- cease to maintain the old LTS branch in favor of the newer one(s). Aside from the
50- LTS version(s), we will also maintain a rolling current version of ASDF. This support
51- for these rolling versions will end when the next non-LTS version of ASDF is released.

55- Since this policy has not yet been implemented, we have not yet formally declared
56- an LTS version for ASDF. Our plan is to declare ``2.15`` as an LTS version when it
57- is released and move forward to actively working on ASDF ``3.0`` as our main development.
58- Once ``3.0`` is released, it will also become a second LTS version of ASDF and we
59- will continue to release bugfixes for ASDF ``2.15`` and ``3.0`` for at least one
60- year past their release dates.
