Notification of LTS Package Support

In November 2020, we released LTS packages to give developers an extra year to migrate their projects to the then new namespaces. As we're coming up to the elapsed time, those packages will no longer be listed on NuGet, and the relevant branch will be removed from GitHub.

In order to continue receiving support and new features, please migrate to either the Stable or Signed versions of the packages.
