Apa artinya ini?
Hanya memperluas akronim tidak terlalu membantu. Meskipun saya akrab dengan, misalnya, istilah-istilah seperti beta dan dukungan jangka panjang , istilah generasi berikutnya masih tidak berarti apa-apa bagi saya.
(Apa itu generasi ? Apakah ini ada kaitannya dengan nomor versi? Jika sebuah paket saat ini ada di repositori, mengapa bukan generasi sekarang ?)
