Track request: turtlebot3c melodic / noetic

Hello,

Per Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks 2, we need a 1-week voting/discussion period, so I’ll check back on the discussion and votes in a few days.

I have three questions before casting my vote.

  1. What’s turtlebot3c’s release cadence, how often is a new major version (potentially requiring a new track) released? is this documented somewhere by upstream?
  2. Is there some commitment from upstream on maintenance of old versions? e.g. is melodic still supported with security updates? will it continue to be supported now that noetic is out, and for how long?
  3. Are new versions backwards-incompatible? meaning, if I was running melodic and try to install noetic, will that just work, or do I need to migrate my data/configuration, or will things break horribly?

Thanks!
