As the proud owner of hardware that will not run on any release newer
than Hardy, I can vouch for this being really helpful. As it is, I'll
probably get 4 more years of service out of the box than I would have
due to it being supported in an LTS.
I think right after an LTS is the best time to drop hardware support.
