After a chat on IRC, it's currently already configured to no longer
accept new uploads. I think it's confusing to release security updates
after security support supposedly ended, but if the LTS team wants that
I can look at renabling it again.

Which downtime? Stretch already has security support; with LTS it will
get /less/ support (only a limited set of architectures). Anybody
wishing to use Stretch LTS later, can already use Stretch today with no
downsides.

(5) and (6) will probably only happen later. Having a month or so
between importing on archive.d.o and removal from security.d.o should
be fine.
