Yes and no. The LTS releases try to do, what should (IMO) be a stable release 
branch from our side. The problem seems to me that our stable branch 2.2.x is 
too old for many and our only other releases, 2.4.x, has too many new, 
experimental and dangerous changes. So the LTS releases create a hybrid that is 
totally not managed by the httpd project. I have no clue what a httpd-2.4.6-45 
really is.
