Maybe it is worth to add that a LTS release in JS land isn't what non JS developers would expect. LTS releases with support for 6 months? Seriously?

For comparison Red Hat supports their servers for a minimum of 10 years and you can buy extended support after that.

6 months for v.4, then 1 year. Which is still absurdly short. That's not even long enough for sane, normal versioning (e.g. Python 2.6 through 2.6.9 was like 5+ years). These people are crazy.

For Ember at least, the LTS is 4 releases, however all versions are backwards compatible up to the point at which they bump the major version. So you can just keep upgrading whiteout changing code for potentially years.
