Perhaps also mention the expected change to the status:

    This release stream is open to bug fixes. When 1.Y.0 is released,
    this stream will be closed to any changes except security-related
    bugs.

    This release stream is open for serious and security-related bugs
    only. This stream will be closed to any changes on January 1.
