Mostly this adds some clarity which fixes qualify to get into an LTS version and what SLO (or lack thereof) users can expect. Mark Prometheus 3.5 as end of life.

As discussed on the latest developer summit meeting.

Thanks!

Comment thread docs/introduction/release-cycle.md Outdated
or documentation fixes might be added. The build toolchain will also be kept
up-to-date. This is a best effort commitment by the community, contributions are
welcome.
Support periods of two subsequent LTS version should overlap by at least one

This will be a contentious point as 1 month for using latest (even if LTS) version can be scary.

"Best effort" 3 months might be the same effect as "best effort" 1 month IMO, but I know we discussed not extending.

Yeah this is not meant to address longer overlap request. The goal here is more to clarify what LTS support actually means. Based on the perhaps we can better discuss if we can handle more overlap or not.
