Calling one of our releases from time to time LTS certainly makes sense from a marketing point of view ... Doing that with a consistent shedule and clearly stated timeframe also makes sense Also synchronizing such shedule with distros and user applications would make sense To support a release better, longer or with more clearly stated shedule requires someone with the will and time to stand behind it though. Is there someone this applies to ? Do you know someone this applies to ?
