So someone who was part of that discussion: Please give us a short
summary. You can't expect everyone to read through all those posts
again, 95% is probably obsolete.

And most important: Were the main developers part of that discussion /
have they agreed? While I agree LTS would be nice it needs someone to
do it. You also have to consider the available man power.

But this is not very relevant for this discussion: It's always possible
to increase support time later.
