Aha! This was not obvious to me from the bug. With that additional bit of context, there is indeed nothing to worry about.

Hm. We *were* worried when we wrote that that it would be interpreted as "as soon as N+1 is released, you no longer need to fix (non-LTS) N" which was not our intent. The publicised policy is that non-LTS releases have a 9 month support lifespan; if *everyone* skips uploading fixes to a non-LTS release as soon it is superseded then that's just 6 months.
