-<p>LTS releases are intended to provide stability. Standard releases are intended to deliver new features more quickly.</p>
+<p>During the support period, we commit to providing updates that fix high
+priority issues such as security and data loss or corruption. We may also
+sometimes fix other issues as appropriate to the emphasis of each release.</p>

-<p>Subversion 1.0 through 1.10 were released at intervals varying from around 6 months in early versions to 2.5 years more recently. Each of those releases was supported with full backports until the next release and with security/corruption fixes until the next release after that.</p>
+<p>Subversion 1.0 through 1.10 were released at intervals varying from around 6 months in early versions to 2.5 years more recently. Each of those releases was supported with general backports until the next release and with high priority fixes until the next release after that.</p>
 
-<p>The support schedule for existing supported releases (1.10 and 1.9) shall be interpreted as if each reference to a "next release" refers to a "next LTS release". Therefore 1.9 will receive security/corruption fixes until 1.14 LTS.</p>
+<p>The LTS support schedule will apply also to 1.10 and 1.9 (the existing supported releases), so each will receive support for 4 years from its initial release. General enhancements will go into the regular releases and will not be backported to 1.10.</p>
