I like the idea of LTS release.
Btw, how do you know that "Thousands of developers are already building applications backed by RethinkDB;"?
PS: I hope we'll see soon more official drivers...

We know in two ways. First, people have told us via GitHub/IRC/e-mail/etc. and Shirts For Stories page (http://www.rethinkdb.com/community/shirts-for-stories/).
Second, the administration UI checks for version updates, which gives us some information about how many developers are using RethinkDB and how long they stuck around.
There is no perfect way to know because there are many sources of imprecise information, but we're quite confident about the overall conclusions of the data.

We've been trying to keep the surface area of the project low for now. Which specific drivers are you interested in? (we probably won't be able to do anything about it for the next ~6 months or so, but having the info helps enormously)
Java! My current stack is spring mvc 3, spring-data-mongodb. It's not perfect, but at least I don't have to hack my way into basic db ops...
I just trying to compare with my current stack spring mvc 3, spring data mongodb.
