The story behind this one was that I was asked to defer publication of -LTS
until the IANA registry draft got published (and I'm still waiting).  In the
meantime implementers needed to use some value for deployments, and 26 was the
next unused value so that got used under the assumption that if everything
else was also waiting for the registry draft to be published it wouldn't get
grabbed away suddenly.  It's now been in use for about two years so there is
quite a bit of precedent for its use by LTS.
