[Qgis-developer] What's the purpose of an LTR?

[G. Allegri]

Could you help me to understand what distinguishes a normal QGIS release
and an LTR? In other sw the LTR (LTS) guarantees long term maintanance,
backporting fixes, etc. but in the QGIS lifecycle a release is fixed, so
what's the difference for the end user between 2.6 and 2.8? Maybe that it's
download link will be mantained for a longer time? :)
