It is about "random" release being chosen as LTS. For many users, it will preventing migration until a given feature is part of a LTS release. Our proposal to have fixed life time and release cycles does not have this random effect and each x.y release is equally supported for the same duration. The amount of branches can be reduced easily and even if we may have many at one point, it will be only about sec fixes, that's really not a problem (a bit of automated tasked will help here too).
