Thanks for this information.

This implies a difference between “long-term supported release” and
“stable release”. (If there's no difference, I hope a single term can be
chosen and applied consistently.)

Isn't the release of Bazaar 2.0 going to be followed quite promptly by
another stable release, certainly much sooner than six months; hence (by
the above description) ending the “long-term support” at that point?
