I'm not saying you should become a language developer. I'm saying 
if you have a strong case for an LTS release, bring it. I'm sure 
it's come up before, but no one has ever pushed it in a meeting 
that I can recall. I can't speak for everyone, but I wouldn't 
mind seeing it. I just know that there's a mountain of other work 
that we're putting a priority on right now, and until someone 
pushes it, I doubt anyone's going to pick it up.
