Re: Why LTS?

Leaving off facing changes for 3 years might entail dealing with an even longer list when you have no choice left though.

There are only going to be fewer non-systemd choices by that time (but there might be a couple more non-systemd choices with caveats). Wayland will become default for most desktops after another couple of years, but X will still be available on most distros for years to come, too many window managers and smaller desktops still depend on it.

Canonical are not the only distro to jump onto changes asap. Archlinux jumps ahead generally before the rest, systemd, python3 as default....
