Currently, 1.4-release is not an LTS release. At some point we will ask the Funtoo user community whether continuing to maintain 1.4 makes sense or if efforts are best spent elsewhere. If the upgrade path to next release is relatively straightforward (and so far it appears to be) then we may make the decision to deprecate 1.4 as users can easily transition to next for any updates they need.

We’re maintaining 1.4 as a stable release but it is not LTS, and next is recommended 1.4 should only be used by people who really need it.
