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.
