LTS is a dangerous concept, really, especially in the way Debian or Red Hat do it, that is, by freezing versions at a completely random point and then attempt to backport fixes. This approach is outright dangerous, because in my experience a distro maintainer is often not as accustomed with the codebase as an upstream maintainer. I understand the need to keep versions stable, but I would rather use a real long term support version from an upstream maintainer than random patches from Red Hat. That's why in my experience ironically rolling releases tend to be less finicky to use than long term support distros.
