Hi Greg,

Let me try to clarify :-)

If someone reports problems upgrading their firefly cluster to hammer, 
and the problem is in firefly, will we publish a new firefly release?

If someone reports problems upgrading their dumpling cluster to firefly, 
and the problem is in dumpling, will we publish a new dumpling release?

I don't know the answer to those questions, but such a release -- if 
published -- would be "out-of-band" with regard to what is written in 
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/doc/releases.rst#understanding-the-release-cycle 
- in particular this:

"Every other stable releases is a LTS (Long Term Stable) and will 
receive updates until two LTS are published. For instance Dumpling is 
retired when Hammer is published, Firefly is retired when Jewel is 
published etc."
