No I think we can remove this if we set up the automatic updating of stable on RTD

It sounds like this should work by default but I guess we will need to remove the stable branch in our repo and probably also wipe stable in RTD after we've done that and remove the explicitly specified stable version.

Does this mean we delete the LTS branch from repo after APE 21 is accepted?

No because we might break old links I think? We can just leave the branch frozen?

Don't we need the stable branch for RTD ? (https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/)

In my projects without a stable branch, the "stable" on RTD automagically picks up the latest release. 🤷
Do you plan to delete the stable branch altogether?

Right, then we should delete the stable branch.

When should I do that? Now or when you cut v6.0 ?

Hmm yeah we can probably do that now.

Anything else will change on the conda side without LTS, @mwcraig ?

Do we want to keep this page but on that page link to APE 21 and tell people that LTS is no more?

Rebased - someone should read over the changes carefully once more to be sure that this is all fine now. |

@saimn would be the best person, but @WilliamJamieson also requested changes before. |
This is a companion to astropy/astropy-APEs#82 which proposes no longer having LTS releases.
As part of APE 21 we are also advocating using x.x.0 version number formats for the first minor/major release in each cycle as this is more standard practice (the only place where I think we can keep the x.x version numbers is for the filenames and titles of the What's new pages)
