Barry confirmed on IRC with this clarification (thanks):

- a stable version does not go into security mode as soon as the new
stable is out, only some time after, when the last bugfix (i.e. micro)
release is made;

- an old stable version gets security fixes for five years, even if
there is another old stable version before this term.
