Maintenance
Enhancements are delivered in major or minor releases. Major releases (e.g. 8.8) contain major new functionality orarchitectural changes; minor releases (e.g. 8.81, 8.82) include new and improved business functions or corrections
Interfaces remain stable between major and minor releases
A major release and minor releases that follow it, present a release family

When a new minor release enters unrestricted shipment, maintenance of the preceding version is discontinued
Patch frequency varies from 4 to 12 weeks; gradually decreasing during maintenance period
