In September 2017, Mark Reinhold, chief Architect of the Java Platform, proposed to change the release train to 'one feature release every six months' rather than the current two-year schedule, and later the proposal took effect. The first version was released on January 23, 1996. Unity 2017.4.0 was released on 20th March 2018. It was our first Long Term Support (LTS) version and a significant shift in how we support Unity releases. The next release, 2017.4.40, will be the last in the 2017-stream. With 2019 LTS due to be released soon, it is time to end support for 2017 LTS.
Edit on GitHubMajor Node.js versions enter Current release status for six months, which gives library authors time to add support for them.After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported, and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to Active LTS status and are ready for general use.LTS release status is 'long-term support', which typically guarantees that critical bugs will be fixed for a total of 30 months.Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.

Debian LTS support for Debian 8 'Jessie' ended on June 30, 2020
Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years. Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.
Thus the Debian LTS team takes over security maintenance of the various releases once the Debian Security team stops its work.
For more information see LTS/Stretch, LTS/Using and LTS/FAQ.
