Well there are people such as myself who maintain a fairly large number
of computers and simply can't upgrade them all every 6 months, thus LTS
which means Long Term Support is quite attractive. I currently have 51
computers running 12.04.

Ultimately it will be up to Tim to decide if we can do an LTS or not and
I'm cool with that, I consider him our own personal SABDFL :^)

If we can do an LTS that would be great, but if we can't it's not the
end of the world ;^)
