V2.x are not LTS versions but v1.x is.

xpra v1.x was the last branch to support Python versions 2.6 and older,
which includes OSes like RHEL / CentOS 6.x
Like it or not, RHEL 6.x is going to be supported by RedHat until 2024
under the "Extended Lifecycle Support" schedule.

Preserving basic backwards compatibility is not that much of a
difficulty anyway.
That said, it is time to move on, and the next 1.x stable update is
likely to be the last.

Cheers,
Antoine
