I normally don't respond to most of these types of discussions but I would 
like to comment on this one.  In my opinion, I see long term support as a 
server environment.  In that respect I don't care about, and normally don't 
have on my system, kde or much other gui type applications.  On the desktop 
side, I see, like in windows world, that you test the upgrades in a "lab" 
type environment to make sure the upgrade works and if it does then you may 
want to change the rest of your desktops.  This discussion is no where near 
new.  It has been around since software has been around.  It comes onto the 
business model and the IT support on what is best for your company.  I am 
going to use the Window$ example.  Server 2000 was around for quite a long 
time as a server install but there were many desktop applications that came 
and went around that server platform.  Just my two cents.
