3.16 was EOL in 2020.
4.4 was EOL in 2022.
5.10 is new in 2020.
5.15 is new in 2021.
We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022.

I think the table should be keep updated whenever new LTS is announced
and oldest LTS become EOL, to be on par with kernel.org homepage.

Yeah, I didn't even realize this was in the kernel tree, I've just been
keeping kernel.org up to date.

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.
