Which effectively happens anyway, although to varying degrees of activity. If an OS vendor releases a version of Python in their LTS, that's also a commitment to support that for the length of LTS (Python usually being within in the sphere of LTS supported packages, e.g. not everything in Ubuntu is guaranteed support for 5 years of an LTS, just 'main' packages).
