How about simply replacing this table with a pointer to
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html so that you don't have to
remember to update tables in two different places? It also has the
benefit that the documentation is never stale (missing new LTS
releases), even when someone is reading the documentation from an older
kernel release.
