Thus, the old OSGeo4W section in the download page could be slightly 
changed in order to better clarify the instructions:

from (current wording):
*******
Long-term release in old OSGeo4W (continued with previous dependencies):

In the installer choose Advanced Install and select qgis-ltr-full to 
install the long term release.
Packages for the latest release and nightly thereof and master are 
discontinued in old OSGeo4W.
This installer also allows installing QGIS without non-free software
*******

to:
*******
Long-term release in old OSGeo4W (continued with previous dependencies):

In the installer choose Express Install and select QGIS LTR to install 
the long term release.
The express installation have several optional packages including 
non-free software. To avoid those you have to use the Advanced Install 
and choose qgis-ltr in the desktop section.
Packages for the latest release and nightly thereof and master are 
discontinued in old OSGeo4W.

What dou you think?
