Cab, They are both stable branches and releases on both are maintenance releases each month. I prefer to think of them as stable and oldstable. With master bein development. 3.4.1 is pretty old I'd say the site needs an update. When we release a new feature release a x.x.0 release we don't kill the previous release tree. So currently we are doing monthly maintenance releases for the 2 stable branches. 3.8.x and 3.6.x, this means people can stick with the latest release of 3.6.x until they have decided they want to move. So we have feature releases, every 6 months and maintenance every 1. The only exception is a security release, if something requires an urgent release we will do that.

I would have thought that a maintenance release is done "on top of" a stable release, comprising minor bug fixes and the like. And how is it determined what the latest "stable" release is? I notice that Equinox's support page is still listing 3.4.1 as the current stable version. Is this something that varies from support company to support company, depending on their confidence in a particular release, their philosophy of development, etc?
