Microsoft is also interested in a longer lifetime for v5.15 LTS. An additional year should meet our needs. We are aware of your "Helping Out ..." blog post and have been making improvements to be of more assistance. Kelsey and Allen (Cc'ed) have been doing -rc testing of v5.15 -rc releases and reporting the results to the list, on behalf of Microsoft. Testing of the -rc releases is mostly manual at this point, so we don't get every release tested before the release happens, but we're working on improving our processes and having builds/tests kick off automatically so that you can rely on us even more. We should have a much better system in place to help with testing and reporting by the time Oct 2023 rolls around. :) Let us know if there's anything else that we can do to help. Tyler
