Is it better to use "latest" instead of "last"?

Latest could be interpreted as "they are a lot of LTS versions", but there is only one
For me last is ok, or nothing at all

Well, if you look at each patch version as its own version, there are a lot of LTS versions. However, at least this will be true when Symfony 2.7 is released because we then have two LTS versions.

IIRC what my English teachers told me, last would mean that there won't be any other LTS version after this one, which is wrong.
But I will let a native speaker confirm this

I understand your point of view
Can you confirm that https://github.com/symfony/symfony-installer/blob/master/src/Symfony/Installer/NewCommand.php#L223 will download automatically the 2.7 when it will be published, even if the 2.3 will still be maintained?
If yes, latest is the best option imo

@94noni I can confirm that lts will always be the most recent LTS version (2.3 today and 2.7 in a few months). This version switch will be transparent to the installer and it will be done immediately after the new LTS version is published.

``lts`` as the second argument of the ``new`` command:

.. code-block:: bash

# Linux, Mac OS X
$ symfony new my_project_name lts

# Windows
c:\projects\> php symfony.phar new my_project_name lts

to use for your projects.
