I was just wondering. Will every version since Dapper be LTS? It wil be 
amazing the ammount of space they wil all occupy in servers and mirrors a 
couple years from now. 

Debian only supports one "old stable". If I still can count correctly, by the 
time Dapper is officially relieved of service, and assuming 2 LTS 
releases/year, there will be 8 different full versions of main and restricted 
at least (I don't see any reason to multiply uni/multiverse). Talk about disk 
space!

Not to mention concurrent bug tracking systems and such. Will there be an army 
of ants working for Canonical by then?
