In general the stable release window for a particular major release only
lasts until around the time subsequent major release is made available,
at which point we switch to supporting the new/current release.

We've discussed in the past how to handle LTS, but I don't think we ever
laid out a complete process for that. I think it boils down to allowing
a contributor with an interest in a particular release to volunteer to
handle LTS support for it. If we have a volunteer for such a thing I could
handle pull requests/publishing for them as we work out the logistics
though.
