Thanks for the reviews. I added Han's, Numan's, and Dumitru's acks to
all patches, updated the issue Han pointed out in patch 3, and pushed
the series to main.

The current state of development in OVN has resulted in many discussions
happening about how things should change. The main points of the
discussions have been:
* Recent releases have been much more bare than releases made two or
three years ago.
* Supporting as many versions of OVN as we have is a maintenance burden.
* It is not well-defined what the lifetime of non-LTS OVN versions is.
* We rarely, if ever, make sub-releases of released OVN versions, so it
sometimes feels like backporting bugfixes is pointless.
* It is not always clear as a maintainer which branches should receive
backports of fixes.
This set of changes aims to address these issues, while also correcting
some existing errors in the documentation.
The reason for the large number of patches is to allow for easy
discussion about each aspect of the change. This can allow for us to
reach conclusions for certain aspects and get them integrated into the
documentation while allowing for other aspects to continue to be fleshed
out.
Thanks Mark. LGTM except a nit in patch-3, which can be fixed while
merging. For the series:

V3 -> V4 differences:
* Rebased
* Added Dumitru's acks from v1 to patches 1, 4, 5, and 8.
* Updated patch 7 to have fewer scheduled point-releases based on
feedback from IRC development meetings.
V2 -> V3 differences:
* Patch 2: Updated commit message to not mention giving longer for soft
freeze.
* Patch 3: Use "branch" instead of "version" when referring to the
development code from which releases/versions are made.
* Patch 4: Made it more explicit that LTS versions' receive bug fixes
for two years.
* Patch 9: Use "branch" instead of "version" here as well.
V1 -> V2 differences
* Rebased
* Patch 2: Changed from one month to two week soft freeze timeframe.
* Patch 7: Updated more files to change "master" to "main".
* Patch 9: Added an example for clarification.
V2 does not address Dumitru's questions from patch 6 about automating
minor releases.
