Currently, 1.3-release is an LTS release and no decision has yet been made as to how long it will be maintained. 1.4-release is not an LTS release. At some point we will ask the Funtoo user community whether continuing to maintain 1.3 makes sense or if efforts are best spent elsewhere. If the upgrade path to 1.4 is relatively straightforward (and so far it appears to be) then I may make the decision to deprecate 1.3 as users can easily transition to 1.4 for any updates they need.
