The opposite of an LTS release is _not_ a beta release. It's a regular release.
It seems it would be better if the beta release were regular releases and the
releases were LTS releases.
I'm having a hard time requiring my users to use anything that is not a release
(that is, a beta).
Really this is a question of semantics and what usage patterns you want to
encourage. If you call something beta (or testing) you probably discourage a
lot of people from using it -- that may be a good thing.
As far as I can see the _real_ distinction between the 1- and 6-month releases
here is less about how bug-free the code is and more about how long you can
expect to wait before potentially getting hit with a breaking change.
