Older LTS releases are in no way supported by the Jenkins project and do not
receive backports of any kind.

I strongly recommend to always follow the latest LTS versions. ci.jenkins.io
(which I maintain) runs 2.73.1 for example, and when we roll new releases, I
make sure to upgrade :)

LTS support timelines

[lv via Jenkins Users]

Hi All,

I'm one of the people maintaining the public Jenkins installation of the 
Apache Impala (Incubating) project, and since it is facing the public 
internet we're particularly interested in keeping our installation secure. 
We are currently running LTS 2.46.3 and I'm trying to figure out whether 
such old LTS releases are still supported, and for how long.

I looked at the page describing the LTS Release Line and from there it is 
not clear to me whether only the latest release line (currently 2.73.X) 
will receive security fixes, or whether older lines receive those, too. If 
they do, what is the latest LTS line that will receive security update 
and/or that is considered when looking at the impact of newly found 
security issues?

Thanks for the help. Lars
