To properly phrase the question, "why is 10.X not an LTS release"?
Umm... because it wasn't planned to be, and the decision was made nearly two years ago? Asterisk 1.8 is an LTS release, and now (with this proposal) Asterisk 11 would also be an LTS release. There's really no need for another LTS release sandwiched between them, and we can't commit Digium's development resources to extending the lifetime of that branch by three years. In addition, Asterisk 10 contains some significantly redesigned code that would not have been considered LTS-ready when Asterisk 10 was released.
As we've said many times before, if a group of interested and committed community developers want to continue provide support for Asterisk 10 beyond its stated lifetime, we'll happily provide them the resources to be able to produce releases and make them available to the user community.
