PLEASE DO NOT MERGE IT UNTIL GA

Comment thread README.md Outdated

**NOTE:** _It is not recommended for production use yet._ For production, use

Can we add a link to Module LTS policy please, explain which LoopBack versions are Current/ActiveLTS/MaintenaceLTS and perhaps include a link to https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next for people looking for an LTS version.

@bajtos , good point for the module LTS policy.
I think it's something like https://github.com/strongloop/loopback#module-long-term-support-policy
Info can be found here: https://loopback.io/doc/en/contrib/Long-term-support.html

Using @bajtos' suggestion on the v4.loopback.io PR, perhaps we can use the same:

LoopBack 4 GA (General Availability) has been released in October 2018, read more in the announcement post.

Thanks!

[LoopBack 3](https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb3/index.html).
Check the [API documentation](http://apidocs.loopback.io/@loopback%2fdocs/apidocs.html) for all the API usages in each package.

[LoopBack 3](https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb3/) becomes active LTS version, and [LoopBack 2](https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb2/) is maintenance LTS. The long term support policy can be found here: https://loopback.io/doc/en/contrib/Long-term-support.html

Also becomes (present tense) -> became (past tense, the change has already happened when people read this content).

It would be great to include the table showing LTS dates for different LoopBack releases too.

Version | Status | Published | EOL 
 -- | -- | -- | -- 
 LoopBack 4 | Current | Oct 2018 | Apr 2021 _(minimum)_
 Loopback 3 | Active LTS | Dec 2016 | Dec 2019 
 Loopback 2 | Maintenance LTS | Jul 2014 | Apr 2019
