Hi Konstantin! I noticed commit 8d6ee9149676 ("Add a few more FAQs to
the releases page") to websites.git, which holds the source for the
pages published on kernel.org
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/website.git/commit/?id=8d6ee91496762c3e4955756a28fe92763d81d4dc
).

Nice additions, thx for doing this. Two quick notes:

* you added two sections that use the term "LTS", which is not explained
on that page and wasn't used on it earlier. I wonder if it might be
better to use "Longterm series" or something like that instead, as that
it the term used on the page (and the official one afaics).

This was also added:

> Does the odd-even number still mean anything?
> 
> Not since 2.5 days.

I guess a lot of users won't known how long ago that was, so how about
using an answer like this instead:

"Not since December 2003, when Linux 2.6 got released."

Ciao, Thorsten
