## Frequent Releases
-#### The overall goal is for Apertis to do a yearly product release.
+#### A fresh stable version of Apertis is released yearly.
-A product release is intended to both be based on the most recent mainline kernel LTS release and the current Debian stable release. Since Debian releases roughly once every two years, that means that there will typically be two Apertis product releases based on a single Debian stable release. With Linux doing an LTS release on a yearly basis, each Apertis product release will be based on a different (and then current) Linux kernel release.

-The standard support period for each Apertis product release is 7 quarters. In other words from the initial release at the end of Q1 until the end of the next year.
