Normal releases do get support & upgrades for /eighteen/ months,
rather than 6. For LTS releases, it's 3y on the desktop and 5y on the
server, I believe, but I've never kept an LTS release around that
long.

But yes, after the next normal release is out, usually the main focus
of the MOTU's attention shifts to it...
