Description
Currently the only LTS version of Django is 1.4. According to the documentation on this page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/internals/release-process/ this version is supported until "at least March 2015". This is just about the planned release date for the next LTS version which is 1.8.
It would be nice, if the confirmed support of 1.4 would overlap the 1.8 release for a couple of months so the users have time to restructure their apps.

It's actually mentioned in the 1.8 release notes: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.8/ and the 1.8 release process page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/internals/release-process/.
So a helpful fix would be to mention the six months period in the 1.4 - 1.7 release process pages.

We don't generally backport doc changes in internals, but I've just done so here to help prevent confusion.
IIRC the current consensus is to support 1.4 until 1.8 release + 6 months.
