I believe Enterprise and LTS editions are on a different cadence. Probably came from the same MBA: let consumers be lab rats to for big enterprise customers

  That's exactly what it is and it's becoming more common. Java went that way. Windows went that way. CentOS is going that way. Office 365 is even worse because the low paying users get more frequent updates than high paying users. I know because I tracked down a long file name issue for someone and was shocked they were paying for it and still getting to be a beta tester for the "real" customers (huge businesses).

    > Office 365 is even worse because the low paying users get more frequent updates than high paying users. AFAIK all office subscribers can change their update channel from monthly (default) to SAC (the one that "high paying users" use). The only difference is that the low paying user has to do it via group policy or registry, whereas the high paying users probably have some sort of enterprise admin tool that allows it to be set at the organization level.

      Yes, for business and enterprise tenants, you can set the release cadence by group.
