Ahahah. That means nothing, really. Who committed to LTS of that version is
Canonical/Ubuntu, not Enlightenment. Imagine a scenario where some crazy
dude says he has a distribution with 20 year support, we'll try to match?!

Also, two key problems with your rationale of rant:
   - if Ubuntu committed to LTS, it's their duty to fix stuff for their
distro. -- back ports
   - they won't back port EFL as its a new addition and they don't support
this (as expected, they do LTS for stuff they released in April 2010)
