As mentioned in the doc, this just outlines the release cycle to set expectations.

This is nothing new in terms of policy, it's just trying to document the current state of things.

To echo Martin's comment, and given our today's discussion (the one in the UI/UX channel thread) I think it would make sense to postpone this until we can have a larger meeting, with EU/AU folks present, where we can discuss in more detail the release life cycle, formal testing of releases, and any related issues. That said, this document should absolutely be part of our documentation, I'm sure it'll be most helpful for the community.

It might be beneficial to clarify the security commitment wrt what has been added here and also the release versioning. e.g. the following seems confusing now:

galaxy/SECURITY.md

Lines 13 to 20 in 8adfb7e

## Supported versions
The following branches or releases receive security support:
- Development on the `dev` branch, hosted on GitHub, which will become the next release of Galaxy
- Releases within the past 12 months.
- E.g. 16.04 will receive support until 2017-04. As the month changes to 2017-05 it will become unsupported.
- There are currently no plans for Long Term Support (LTS) releases.
