The idea of making one last release before the major bump was to give
users "stuck" with a given soname something with the latest development.
For example, Debian will allegedly ship 5.1 with bookworm (soft freeze
is in two weeks). Users could then drop 5.2 libraries on their system
without having to also recompile every single package that depends on
ffmpeg.
This used to be the case when our release schedule was not really set in
stone and a release was considered LTS when distros happened to ship it.
So i guess that yes, from now we should effectively make the LTS the
last release of a given soname, and do the bump soon after it. An
hypothetical 5.2 would not get support for too long and eventually it
will become less secure to drop them into a bookworm system just to get
some extra features added in the past few months.
