Call them "stable release cycles" if you like, which is what they are intended 
to be.  It's just that "long-term support" actually conveys quite well what 
_users_ can expect using these versions.

By the way, no one has proposed "using Ubuntu's scheme".  I made a proposal that 
drew on a number of ideas inspired by Ubuntu's release model, including 
terminology, but the actual detail was quite different and was tailored to my 
perceived requirements of D, not an operating system.

So, once again, I'd appreciate your response to those details, rather than your 
perception that I'm proposing "using Ubuntu's scheme".
