+	<h3 id="lts">LTS releases</h3>
+	<p>LTS point releases follow mainline releases.
+	<p>After each -rc tag and after the final version, relevant bug fixes get
+        backported by the LTS maintainers into the respective branches.
+	<p>Developers can provide LTS-specific patches by sending them to stable@dpdk.org
+        only.
+	<p>After all the relevant bugfixes have been backported, regression tests are ran,
+        and if clear, the LTS is announced.
+	<p>Typically a new LTS version follows a mainline release by 1-2 weeks, depending
+        on the test results.
