We've had somebody on the Solr mailing list asking questions about our
LTS version.
The thing about this is that we don't really HAVE an LTS version. Our
major version release pace and the way we deal with older branches mean
that a single major version branch is never in a given state for long
enough to really qualify as "long term".
The 7.x branch is in maintenance mode, so most problems that people
encounter with it will only be addressed in a future 8.x version. In my
mind, that means it doesn't qualify as LTS. The current stable branch
is always getting new features, which I think disqualifies that branch
for the LTS label.
The tomcat project has an interesting way of determining when support
ends. Here's a message outlining it:

My question is: Do we want to change what we do here, or are we happy
with the current model? If we did change it, I'm not completely sure
what that would look like.
Thanks,
Shawn
