Except dolibarr is not made ONLY for advanced users but also (especially) for simple users who do not have our production development expertise (never .0 ...)
WE must clarify their heavily that a .0 version is not made to be used in production (or at their own risk), otherwise they will do…
The purpose of its new rules is to orient new inexperienced dolibarr users to a suitable and reliable account when it decides to test and use dolibarr.
All the better if there are more developers on Github, but that is not the point: those who interest me are integrators and beginners THEM download on sourceforge
---
Sauf que Dolibarr n’est pas fait SEULEMENT pour les utilisateurs expérimenté mais aussi (surtout) pour de ‘simple mortel’ qui n’ont pas notre expertise pour la mise en production (jamais de .0 …)
Nous devons donc leur préciser « Lourdement » qu’une version .0 ne doit pas être utilisé en production (ou à leur risque et péril), sinon il le feront.
Le but de ses nouvelles règles est d'orienter les nouveaux utilisateurs inexpérimenté de Dolibarr vers une version appropriée et fiable quand il décide de tester puis utiliser Dolibarr.
Tant mieux si il y a plus de développeurs sur Github , mais ce n’est pas le sujet : ceux qui m’intéressent sont les intégrateurs et les débutants qui EUX téléchargent sur sourceforge

Objet : Re: [Dolibarr-dev] Dolibarr 3.8.1 and freeze of Dolibarr 3.9
We currently support 3 versions: N, N-1 and N-2
Isn't that what's already available if you use N-1?
That's what would do any cautious user anyway.
I never ever put a .0 version in production and try to keep on N-1 unless I need the bleeding edge features (and even then, backports are sometimes available).
I don't see anything new except a complex rule with little to no benefits.
Also note that the decreasing downloads at Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dolibarr/files/Dolibarr%20ERP-CRM/stats/timeline?dates=2012-10-06+to+2015-10-12) can be explained by our strong GitHub presence which is gaining popularity everyday.
My 2 cents,

Once again more explicit
Dolibarr 3.9 / RoadMap
Dolibarr next version 3.9.0 should not integrate new functionnalities but 2 major new features that many users have been waiting for:
n Accountancy
n Multi-currency
Evolution:
From 3.8.1 branch to launch 3.9 branch and keep the current development branch for future version 3.10
Annual versions:
2 annual versions to differenciate Dolibarr
A « PRO » version that would contain only functionnal evolutions, marked with an odd figure (ex : 3.9.x)
A « CORE » version that would contain only technical evolutions, marked with an even number (ex : 3.10.x)
Seasonnality
High season from september to march and à quiet season from April to August
Retroplanning
Within the high season : must be available a « PRO » version as stable as possible or event better a X.Y.2 version completed and available beginning of september.
It means that X.Y.1 version is released end of June and that X.Y.0 is released on April.
About « CORE » version, its development where developers could discuss about new features to add would be launched after the April DevCamp.
The .0 version release would be on end of september, a corrected version would be availbel in the end of the year et would be used as the base of the next « PRO » version.
About maintenance :
« PRO » version should be maintained 2 years long or 3. « CORE » versions only one year.
