Yeah not sure why we aren't picking an LTC here, it could be that it's
just a dev branch, not release, Joel, what's the process in that case ?

For anything going into products, if we're going to maintain a non-
upstream branch, we should definitely stick it to an LTS release or
we'll be missing a ton of security fixes.

Cheers,
