Description

https://github.com/nodejs/Release defined the three phases of a Node.js release

  • Current
  • Active LTS
  • Maintenance

And yet the SVG does not use the word LTS anywhere within it. Further, the SVG should match the language we have within https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.

See the PR where this was brought up

https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/pull/7962#pullrequestreview-2998862184

and two small improvements suggested on the website
