I have changed the date to 6th from 18th. Though in my opinion July 18
marks the official end of oldstable and the begin of Stretch LTS because
users will receive updates from a different channel than
stretch-security. This is something that normally won't happen while LTS
is running. Thus I have clarified the paragraph and now I mention both
dates.

Sure, we have done it three times before. This time the draft looked
really innocent to me. Will do better next time. :)
