Description

If the aim is to make sure that the enterprise can adopt and choose to subsequently support node then the LTS path makes the most sense. Enterprise upgrade less often and stick to the LTS versions.

We have to also be practical in that the weight of maintenance would eventually not be sustainable for anything other than the current LTS.
