LTS also introduces a potential confusion with multiple Blender versions co-existing. This problem is not unique to LTS, but aggravated here:
- The communication is to focus in the latest version, with a hint to the upcoming beta release. This reaches most of the users.
- Early adopters and bug reporters are directed to the daily builds, focusing mostly on master.
- LTS members get their Blender from a different page / update system. Bugs reported in an LTS version are treated as any other bug, and if already fixed in master are considered closed.
