Hi Matteo/Okash,
Thanks for re-starting the discussion. We (NVIDIA) are still interested in the idea and would like to discuss the next steps. I like the idea of a hotfix release, although would propose back-porting fixes to more tags.
A targeted tech forum or another mechanism works for me. I would like to discuss the scope of the activity and the engagement model.

Hi Okash,
Thanks for rebooting the conversation.
Out of the brainstorming from 1.5 yrs ago, we had this page published with an initial RFC proposal for LTSs: https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper....
Worth mentioning that, in the meanwhile, the TF-M project has introduced the concept of Hotfix releases (which is a very lightweight process for backporting critical bug fix/security fixes only to the last available tagged release): https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftf-m-user-...
I'm curious to hear others' opinion and interest (@Varun, @Raghu ?) to possibly revive this topic in either in a Tech Forum or at a project TSC/Board level.
Thanks Matteo
