Stages of release branches

Certified builds support partner-requested respins for up to a maximum of six months. After six months, a partner can request a respin to receive the security patches mentioned in the Android Security Bulletin (ASB).

When the LTS requirements cause the branch to be non-compliant, the branch is deprecated. Respin requests for deprecated branches aren't accepted.

For additional detail, reference Emergency respin process.
