Yes, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will ship with LightDM 1.10 and that will be
supported until approximately 2019*. In general, I plan to make a LightDM
release for every Ubuntu release and support them for as long as the Ubuntu
release is supported.

Note if anyone does want to keep a release supported for longer I am open
to that if someone is willing to step up and maintain it. However, in the
interests of minimising risk/work I'd recommend distributions use the
versions we use in the LTS if support is important to them.

*Not formally announced I don't think, but that is what 12.04 LTS did.
Also, 2019! That's a long time :)
