 ## Long Term Support Working Group Roadmap
 
 The LTS WG is expected to establish a regular and predictable cadence of LTS Releases. To this end, the LTS WG must maintain and regularly publish a clear Roadmap that outlines the priorities and milestones for upcoming LTS Releases. The goal of the Roadmap is to help guide the project's evolution as opposed to constraining it.
