From aa43afa73fb5063e0387930106fc135bc640b88b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Trott Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2019 13:28:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove How Does LTS Work section from Collaborator Guide The How Does LTS Work section duplicates material in the release plan, to which there is already a link in the doc. Unfortunately, it has gone out of sync with the release plan, resulting in incorrect material being in the Collaborator Guide. (The Release WG needs to approve certain changes, not LTS WG as the guide currently says. It used to be the LTS WG, but that changed.) Instead of duplicating material in the Collaborator Guide and risking that the two documents contradict each other again, instruct the reader to refer to the release plan as the canonical source of information. --- COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md | 17 +++-------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md b/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md index f8d3629eaf6721..c5e4fab700483b 100644 --- a/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md +++ b/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md @@ -643,20 +643,9 @@ Long Term Support (often referred to as *LTS*) guarantees application developers a 30-month support cycle with specific versions of Node.js.
