 1. Create LTS branch `release-#.x.x` off the latest version tag on `release` branch.
 2. Create temporary branch `build-release` off branch `beta` and create a pull request with `release` as the base branch.
 3. Merge branch `build-release` into `release`. Given that there will be breaking changes, a new major release will be created. In the unlikely case that there have been no breaking changes between the previous major release and the upcoming release, a major version increment has to be triggered manually. See the docs of the release automation framework for how to do that.
+4. Add newly created LTS branch `release-#.x.x` from step 1 to [Snyk](https://snyk.io) so that Snyk opens pull requests for the LTS branch; remove previously existing LTS branch `release-#.x.x` from Snyk.
