You completely ignore the context, I never claimed something like this! Please, don't spread untruth about what I was pointing out! I very well understand different kinds of long term support. I simply pointed out what kind of support a user could expect. This kind of very long term support is not useful, if a user needs support for desktop environment related apps outside of the community of this particular very long term support distro. Any other claim is plain wrong! It could make sense even for desktop apps, if a company prefers such a very long term support distro, to avoid training of employees and for a few other reasons. However, it's not much likely that upstream of those desktop apps or user communities are from much help, if support should be needed. Support for that old applications could be expected by the very long term support distro's community. It becomes even more problematic, as soon as a lot of out of tree patches are included to the software (not only for the kernel).
