New Rails maintenance policy just dropped. rubyonrails.org/2024/10/15/new

If I can summarize:

- minor releases every six months (like Go)
- bug fixes for one year after a given minor release
- security fixes for two years
- no support beyond two years

Seems very aggressive but they want users to upgrade more regularly, which I can understand.

Does Rails need better upgrade automation to make this smoother? WDYT?

@getajobmike to be fair to rails core, they've done a very good job making upgrades easier and easier. it's reasonable to ask people to keep recent, in return.
