Customers in MinIO are allowed LTS on any release they choose to standardize. Production setups seldom change and require maintenance. Hotfix branches are such maintenance branches that allow customers to operate a production cluster without drastic changes to their deployment.

## Backporting a fix

Developer is advised to clone the MinIO source and checkout the MinIO release tag customer is currently on.

```
λ git checkout RELEASE.2021-04-22T15-44-28Z
```
