3. **The project will follow a "release train" model for minor-version releases, and a "tentpole" model for major-version releases.** | ||
The team wants to produce minor-version releases on a "release-train" schedule: every six weeks a new release comes out, and it includes all the new features that are ready at the time of release. Having a set release schedule makes sure OpenSearch is releasing in a predictable way and prevents a backlog of unreleased changes. In contrast, major-version releases will take place when there is a critical mass of new features that would create incompatibilities, since that’s the only opportunity to release them. These are called "tentpole" features because getting one of these in might hold a release. If any of the tentpole changes runs into serious problems, a decision would need to be made to move the release or wait until the next major release for that change. | ||

That passive voice in the last sentence raises more questions than it answers, I think?
If any of the tentpole changes runs into serious problems, the folks working on it will need to add a comment on their meta tracking issue with an alert. At that point we the folks working on the issue and I can decide whether to cut scope, remove the feature from the release, or move the release date depending on the type and severity of the problem.

"folks" is weird I acknowledge, BTW. So if you have a better word feel free to swap it in (tent pole features can come from anywhere.
