Not making the compiler versions required to bootstrap the compiler LTS 
dooms our very ability to have a working compiler.

Without having C++ dumps of the compiler, before we did the whole self 
hosting thing was kinda short sighted.

Having LTS versions which work towards bootstrapping would certainly be 
beneficial to us long term and would allow us to solve the problem for 
the wider community who need stabilization.
