Hi I have put together a draft for a post on the Camel website https://github.com/apache/camel-website/blob/schedule/content/blog/LTS-Release-Schedule/index.md
Feedback is welcome so we can amend/update the content and post it later. After that I think we should update the download page to include this information, or add a new page, and then refer to it from download or something like that. The download page currently has some script to automatic list X releases back. This likely needs to be removed or updated so it can do something like the schedule table, and then for the LTS we just have the latest patch release, eg Camel 3.3.2.
