Not much news there. This comes up again and again. We already tried to maintain two branches in the past and failed. I'm not sure if we still would, but I don't see any big changes that makes it less likely either. And that's why we have the tight release schedule now - it's there to both get bugfixes out and new features in in a reasonable time frame and with minimum extra or duplicate effort (which backports and packing are - not a awful lot, but some). Fixes and features are released every four months - including a four weeks window for testing and fixing. Which is of course not as good as LTS, but it's apparently feasible and working.
