Hi Folks,

I'd like to float the idea of extending our LTS release support period for
security fixes. In practice we've seen most vendors support the LTS
releases long past the official OSS support window. This went on for a
super long time with 2.4, and even in 3.5 we see much longer vendor LTS
periods support of 3.5 in Databricks dropping in 2028, Amazon in 2027,
etc.  If 2.4 is any indication, these might slip out even longer.

If we did security-only fixes for an additional 24 months after the end of
bug-fix period, it would let us poll our resources for security
maintenance.

Cheers,

Holden
