[CentOS] what is the centos/elrepo policy toward LTS kernels?

  i'm sure there's a simple answer to this -- i already understand
that newer kernels than the ones shipped with the official release
aren't officially supported but there is the elrepo kernel repository
here:

  http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el7/x86_64/RPMS/

with a mixture of long-term (lt) and mainline (ml) kernels. i assume
that the mainline kernels pretty closely track the latest kernel
release but that's not the one i'm interested in.

  if i was interested in the additional longevity of the LTS kernels,
i can see that 4.4 is available. but the most recent LTS kernel was
4.14, was it not? so why is a 4.14 "lt" kernel not available in that
repository?

  i am obviously unclear on the policy used to determine which kernel
versions end up in that repository.
