With increasing support for automated updating of dependencies, it would be nice to have container tags that explicit reference the LTS status of a release. This would allow services like dependabot to only propose upgrades to newer LTS releases, when this is desired.
My suggestion is to, in addition to tags already published by this project, add tags that include either the -lts suffix or -lts- infix for Corretto/JDK releases that relate to LTS releases.
For instance:
amazoncorretto:11-al2-jdk-lts
amazoncorretto:17-al2-jdk-lts
Supporting evidence is provided in the form of a screenshot from an internal project where dependabot proposed an upgrade to a non-LTS Corretto/JDK 20 release, where an upgrade to Corretto/JDK 17 would have been more appropriate.
