: The term LTS is used loosely and we actually do not promise anything. What we
say is
:
: > 7.7.x Version in the previous major release for bugfixes only (LTS)
...
: Being the one coining the LTS phrasing I am not opposed to changing it
: to something else. But through the years we have used that term I have
: not seen a lot of such requests.
I didn't realize you had put that up on the site -- it does seem very
missleading to me as the "LT" in "LTS" is suppose to mean "Long Term" but
we do not -- in practice or intent -- have any plans as a project to
support "7.7.x" in particular any longer then we would any other arbitrary
"latest" minor release.
Nor did we ever give users who initially installed 7.7.0 when it came out
any reason to think it would be "supported" (and get bug fixes) for a
"longer term" then a hypothetical 7.8.0 that might have come out a day
after they installed some 7.7.x, and replace it's row on that page that
you've labeled "LTS".
We may not have ever gotten questions about it, but that may just be
because people have very specific assumptions about what it means, and
never thought to ask questions to verify those assumptions.
I think, given how the project *actually* supports releases, I think we
should remove references to "LTS" from that page, and leave the other
description "Version in the previous major release for bugfixes only" as
it stands -- or perhaps tighten it up even more: "Version in the previous
major release that may get bug fixs"
