I don't object to making it longer, although I think 3 years is sort of extreme.
I do not think in enterprise three years are extreme at all. Not even long. RH enterprise line is five years guaranteed.
Paying for that service is also something what all enterprise users would do. Just do not make it as outrageous as RH made. Something along the $100/year/machine is OK. I am working for a Small/Medium Business. We would pay that money as we did for the RH Network until they started to charge astronomical subscription price. $100/year/machine for the peace of mind that what I am installing will never break the system is quite good deal actually. Less is even better of course :-). You can use the money to build/maintain Gentoo's own hardware and broadband infrastructure what you could use for the non-stable/non-enterprise branch, too. A non-profit status would help in to get people accept that money is for the good of the community.
Just my opinion.
