Cambios en "Proposing a new release strategy"

Hello awesome Mauticians!

We've been listening to the feedback from users of Mautic about the release cadence and availability of longer term support.

After some great discussion in the Product Team Slack channel in regards to the points raised in the great presentation at Mautic Conference Global by Mattias Michaux, we've developed a proposal for a new release schedule for Mautic.

This new proposal will see us:

• Providing a five-year lifetime for each major version of Mautic from initial release to End of Life
  
  
• Ensuring that security support for a previous release only ends after the next release has been out for 12 months and it's in Long Term Support, giving longer to update and a an extensively tested, stable release by the time it's mandatory to upgrade
  
  
• Providing a Long Term Support (LTS) release which is supported for 18 months, with the option to extend through a paid Extended Long Term Support program for a further 24 months (ELTS will be for a period of 12 months, in the diagram you'll see ELTS1 and ELTS2 which refer to the two supported periods for that release).
  
  
• Supporting major Symfony versions in advance of when they reach End of Life, ensuring that our software remains up to date with the latest and most secure releases of our underlying framework.

Please check the new proposal here in a visual timeline format, and leave your thoughts and comments below.
