It seems I didn't make my suggestion clear, since you seem to be arguing against a point I didn't make. I'm saying they could have, and should have, announced the shortened LTS period when they released Node 16, after having already made the decision to ship with OpenSSL 1.1.1. The support period for OpenSSL 1.1.1 was known at the time -- why did it take this long for them to notice and pull back their LTS date accordingly? It could have been known on the day of Node 16's release. The important part of LTS releases is being able to make plans around firm dates; the specific length isn't important as long as it's known up front.
