Guide for LTS version marked as old

Hi there,

This issue act more than a personal opinion, but why Guide Pages for LTS version like 2.8 are marked as old ?

It could be more suitable to swap the Old mark to an LTS mark for those version. To reasure developers who use those versions that the team behind Ember is not telling them to always use the latest version.

Are you available to PR this change?

From what I understood :

The outdated warning uses the /versions.json to know the latest version available which does not include any information about LTS versions.

I can made a PR on emberjs/guides regarding to the JS part. However I can't take position about the principles of the versions.json
