I don’t think we could get rid of the Django LTS now — TOO MANY FOLKS use it — but it’s a pain, and I think it encourages bad habits…

> My Car is an LTS, so I don’t bother servicing it. 🥳

If we didn’t have the LTS already, no way would I support introducing it now.

Times just aren’t what they were years ago: there’s no stability issue — JUST UPGRADE! 🌶️

@carlton LTS lets us slowly upgrade, without relying on package developers upgrading immediately too. Sure, the supported versions overlap, but for large projects with other priorities, it's not always enough.

With that said, I've had so many conversations about people using LTSs as "Why do 1 upgrade a year when we can do 1 every 3 years", and how it really doesn't work quite like that.

@jake Yes, I understand the arguments... — I GET that people use the LTS, and are used to doing so.
