No I certainly get that Hilton. I'm not referring to desktop deployments
throughout organizations that are covered by some IT policy, nor as I said,
servers.
I'm talking about everyone else, mostly home users... who do not receive
support from an IT department anyway. They'd need IT support whether they
use LTS or not, but both LTS and regular-release users have to help
themselves and eachother, like we do now.

LTS obviously doesn't mean you'll never have problems, or never need
support. It just means you'll wait longer before you upgrade...
