AFAIK, This is not the scheme used by the linux kernel. they don't have '-stable' or '-longterm' in their names as these are moving 'attributes' given on the main page of kernel.org.
You are right, those really are attributes.
I propose this: We could give an "End of Life" date for each release branches. This mean that after this date, the tcpdump group would not update any more the branch.
Having clearly defined EoL is a good idea. However I think that some releases should be picked and supported for longer periods of time. For example on kernel.org there is still long-term branch for 2.6.32 kernel.
