According to [ansible-core 2.19 release schedule update](https://forum.ansible.com/t/41504) ansible-core 2.19 will have Data Tagging (and will be delayed w.r.t. its original schedule, on which the Ansible 12 release is based). I still think having a Ansible 11 “LTS” with new releases for ~6 additional months (basically until Ansible 13 comes out) is a good idea.

Are there objections, or further needs to discuss this? Or should we start a vote on this without further discussion?
