“Long term support” is 15 months?
Is this a fucking joke?

It’s about 5 times longer than previous releases were maintained for, and is an experiment. If there’s a need for a longer term support branch, there will be one. It’s pointless to start maintaining an 5+ year branch with 0 users and a handful of volunteers, none of whom are paid for doing the maintenance.
So yes, in that context, 15 months is long.

I’m working on an OS with a 26-year support window.
LTS is 10 years. Support the one that RH/Rocky toss into the next release. Anything less than 8 years requires air-quotes around the ‘L’.

MFW I get downvotes for repeating what used to be considered Enterprise support before the dotcom bust. Sorry to be the voice of the past.

Codeberg is run off of donations, they have no service contract revenue. Nobody, much less a volunteer, wants to commit to a 5 or 10 year service plan like that, it’s not sustainable for a small project from a non profit.
