btw...

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/LTS:

"LTS releases starting with the first major release will be supported
for a minimum of 6 months after next LTS release or a total period of 24
months, whichever is greater"

--> next LTS Q2 2019 + 6 months = 4.11 LTS ends Q4 2019

Just my 2 cents
