@RASakach @MarkAckert Since we have posted Zowe 1.9 to zowe.org, I would like to close on this update to be able to post the LTS policy......

Distributions that increment the version number represent a change in the support relationship that a customer using Zowe or a vendor extending Zowe has with the underlying Zowe distribution. Each Zowe version is associated with a conformance program that determines the contract an extender of Zowe has with the base Zowe distribution. If an extension has achieved the criteria for Zowe version n conformance, then that extension will continue to work unmodified with all subsequent release or modification distributions within the same version n. However version n+1 will have new conformance criteria to indicate higher levels of integration or functionality and a vendor product conformance with version n may need to be modified to claim conformance with n+1.

Thanks @nannanli - I think we are getting close to being ready to publish - let me review the content one more time and ask @Joe-Winchester and others to do so also......thanks for your many months of staying on top of this!

@nannanli - is this ready to publish now that LTS has been published ?

nannanli commented 4 years ago

@Joe-Winchester Yes, this should be published when zowe.org was updated with LTS information. I don't have permission to merge this PR. Could you or @jackjia-ibm merge this? Thank you!

Merged, thanks!
