Fair enough, so it would be a concerted pre-release of specifications to allow implementors and users alike to kick the tires so see what works and what does not.

LTS vs non-LTS makes sense for software, I’m not sure it really makes sense for a spec. I mean if I’m using an API implemented by 20 servers isn’t it the implementations support statement that is relevant?

Maybe we should move to a model of LTS releases like OpenJDK? Sets a specific expectation with users that some versions are more "experimental" than others.

Now maybe this has already been discussed on the spec committee - I'm way behind on emails so cannot say for sure.
