If you want a longer life-cycle than that then it is recommended to approach one of the many OSVs who support Yocto Project derived build systems, such as Wind River / Mentor Graphics / ENEA / more. These will have longer support cycles, at least one has the option of ten years for security and critical bug fixes.

Tracking all upstreams for non-security but critical bug fixes would be far more effort. Ross
