### Qubes OS release
R4.2
R4.3
### Brief summary
Kicksecure; and Qubes-Whonix… Templates are built for Qubes stable version (R4.2 at time of writing) only by me.
### Steps to reproduce
n/a
### Expected behavior
Some people may expect the Templates to also be available for Qubes development version (R4.3 at time of writing).
In response to my [announcement of availability of Qubes Kicksecure Template for testers](https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/kicksecure-17-template/31893/11), @alimirjamali said:
> Would it be possible to trigger a template build for r4.3 as well? For testing users who are on R4.3 alpha.
### Actual behavior
Templates are built for Qubes stable version only.
### Additional information
Why not simply always build for stable and development version of Qubes? I don't know if there are computational and/or storage restraints by Qubes build servers.

### Desired outcome of this ticket
A Qubes core team member expressing the policy. Potential replies:
* > No problem, it is OK and wanted to always build Templates for Qubes stable and Qubes development version.
* > Qubes development Templates should be built on demand or when deemed necessary, but some sort of restraint would be desirable to save disk space.
### Potential outcome
I'd modify [dm-qubes-templates-official-build-commands](https://github.com/Kicksecure/developer-meta-files/blob/master/usr/bin/dm-qubes-templates-official-build-commands) to add either a reminder or automation to build Templates also for Qubes development version.
