I don't think we will ever have >3 releases for bug fixes but maybe
3-4 max with 2-3 in security modes. In this case it is really easy to
maintain and release.
Random LTS at random point with random life time for releases is not
something I want for PHP. It is basically what we have now and PHP
users are really not happy about that (and many devs).
