the discretion of the Release working group and the maintainers of the LTS branches.

Once a release moves into Maintenance mode, only ***critical*** bugs,
***critical*** security fixes, and documentation updates will be permitted.
***critical*** security fixes, documentation updates, and updates to ensure
consistency and usability of the N-API across LTS releases will be permitted.
Unless a change is ***urgent*** it will be planned into a release once per
quarter. Such releases will only be made when necessary.

Note that while it is possible that critical security and bug fixes may lead to
*semver-major* changes landing within an LTS stream, such situations will be
rare and will land as *semver-minor* bumps in the LTS covered version.

Updates to ensure consistency and usability of the N-API across LTS releases
are allowed as it is important to ensure that N-API native modules can be used
across LTS versions in order to support adoption.

All LTS releases will be assigned a codename. A list of expected upcoming
codenames is available in [CODENAMES.md](./CODENAMES.md).
