Annual release of Nextcloud within supported majors

An annual release within majors is one of the most common methods for admins to keep stable machines running Nextcloud: they will wait a couple releases for the sake of stability. Please consider embracing an annual release for your user base, in terms of documentation or even a different selectable option besides stable. NextcloudPi offers such a thing already, so it is definitely something that can be incorporated. I think the company assisting in this process is worth considering.

I don't mean enterprise, but I do mean making the update process smoother when the system is upgrading across the maximum number of supported major releases (3).

Seriously, the major update every few months is not quite working currently. Perhaps Nextcloud as an organization does not have to do this, so much as the documentation and update options can be refined to clarify exactly what is needed when a user moves from their existing release to the current release.

Thank you so much for considering. This also relates to suggestion #48178 and forum discussion link

Start by reviewing this issue alongside suggestion #48178 and the linked forum discussion. No implementation files or tests are identified; the work would first require deciding whether the desired outcome is revised documentation, a different update option, or both, with completion defined after that scope is agreed.
