I've been looking at SMW's plans for the LTS and talking with other people on-wiki and off.
As a result, LTS is firming up:
* Security patches supplied until May 2015. * Compatibility extension for those features that can be put into an extension. * Back porting of other features. Where possible, we will only add hooks that the Compatibility extension can use.
Also updated:

Thanks!

\o/ THANK YOU. This is the necessary and sufficient condition.
- Compatibility extension for those features that can be put into an
extension.

But these are lovely and not to be sniffed at :-)
