This change was mentioned many times in different meetings and conversations,
so, I think, everyone who had an opinion already posted it here.

Thanks to everyone for reviews and discussions!
Applied to master.

I will update our website to reflect that 2.13 is our new LTS.
2.5 is in a transitional state now.  It will be supported until 2.15 released.
Maybe a few months longer since we moved LTS a few months after release of 2.14.

We will also need to release new stable versions including stable release
of a new LTS branch soon.  Stay tuned!

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
