Is it correct, that the 1.24-version gets the LTS status? Since the release of the 1.24.0-version this version is marked as LTS version on the download page. The version lifcylce page states, that besides 1.19 the 1.23 version is the current LTS version and will be maintained until May 2017.
Topic on Project:Support desk
1.23 and 1.27 are/will be LTS versions. 1.24 will not be one and will only have the short lifetime up to November 2015.
The page Download should be fixed accordingly!
Done Correct, LTS is 1.23 not 1.24. Fixed in Template: Template:DownloadMediaWiki
It needs to go through translation workflow first.

I imagine 1.27.* will not be an LTS; it's an unhelpful concept which I don't think anyone who would do any "support"ing actually thinks is a good idea.
