I haven't followed 1.0 alot so I have no idea if this is being supported
or not but 1.4 seems to be at least.
1.0 is not mentioned as an LTS here:
http://www.symfony-project.org/installation
Btw, an expiration of november 2012 for symfony 1.4 is way too early for
it to be called *long term* support.
In my view, three years after the next major release as an LTS is a minimum.
Others would say five years all in all.
Regarding 2.0, if it is an LTS it's a well hidden secret on symfony.com,
I tried to find it but could not. Alot of blurb but no hints as far
as I could find.
2.0 has never been announced as being an LTS. The blog post announcing
the release even says that some components (including Form) are not
considered as being in a stable state yet.
I would expect it both on the download page and in a few places
in points and pages linked to from http://symfony.com/what-is-symfony
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symfony points at 2.2 as the first LTS for
Symfony 2.
It's pretty typical for long-term support releases of software to fail to
get feature upgrades. It's the easiest way to guarantee stability.
But of course, stability is the key.
New features that does not break BC or API can be added, either as
backports or just plainly added.
It's all about breakage and API. You can do alot with even a framework
while keeping the stability.
In my view, you don't break API between minor versions.
I guess I'm a dinosaur.
