I disagree with this statement, and I see a lot of people 
agreeing with my disagreement :)
LTS is LTS for a reason, meaning that 3rdparty will (ideally) 
only target LTS, without having to target unpredictable compiler. 
I don't understand how this is going to be worse for 3rd party, I 
only see wins. Have you read the thread btw?  I already posted an 
example (https://github.com/FreeSlave/icontheme/issues/2) where 
one person outright __refused__ to do anything about their broken 
code. I'll copy-paste the reasoning (it's about deprecated alias 
this):

The better way has been proposed already, it's just being 
dismissed without consideration. What is your take, what will 
allow us to have an LTS branch?
