As a relatable data point, Pivotal Cloud Foundry does not have LTS releases yet. We also release quarterly and make very frequent updates, usually from upstream CVEs, through Pivotal Network. Enterprises want LTSes because legacy platforms are a nightmare to install, operate and upgrade. It becomes less important as the platform itself becomes less bestial. Ultimately, enterprises want outcomes. Any given checklist item from the buying department usually represents scar tissue that may or may not still be relevant. New platforms -- Cloud Foundry, OpenShift v3, Docker EE, whichever of the thousand blooming Kubernetes offerings will succeed -- are in a position to renegotiate from first principles. You might want to look into BOSH. It's a large part of the operability secret sauce for Cloud Foundry. Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we're ostensibly competitors due to the increasing overlap between Docker EE and Cloud Foundry.
