## Background
V8 follows the Chromium release schedule. The support horizon for Chromium is
very different from the support horizon that Node.js needs to provide to its
users. As a result Node.js needs to support a version of V8 for quite a bit
longer than what upstream needs to support. Since V8 doesn't have an LTS
supported branch, there is no official process around how the V8 branches in
Node.js are maintained.
different compared to the support horizon for Node.js. As a result, Node.js
needs to support multiple versions of V8 longer than what upstream needs
to support. V8 branches in Node.js lack of an official maintenance process due
to a missing LTS supported branch.
This document attempts to document the current processes and proposes a workflow
for maintaining the V8 branches in Node.js LTS and Current releases and how the
Node.js and V8 teams at Google can help.
This document attempts to outline the current maintenance processes, proposes
a workflow for maintaining the V8 branches in both Node.js LTS and current
releases, and discusses how the Node.js and V8 teams at Google can help.
