Well, I don't see it as loooooooooooooooooooooooooong term support, but
rather as way to enable quick feature cycles, so that feature releases
can move faster than anybody can upgrade to them (ok, that's a bit too
fast the, but hope you get the point), while new features can get in
production sooner, where wanted.
We could also use the names "feature preview release" and "stable
release"(=lts) ... which would bring us close to MySQL's model and their
confusing version numbering (MySQL 5.1 is the stable there, then MySQL
5.4 was announced as preview, now MySQL 5.5 is the current preview
release, neither 5.4 nor 5.5 are "stable", "GA", though)

they started to use milestone release-s.

Which are even more confusing. But someone had to spend hours paid time
to think this out.
