    So basically you're depended on whether or not they want to maintain it long term, just like Apple with their software updates (Apple doesn't have EOL timelines either and just decides a few months ahead of a new release when a phone/tablet/Mac gets EOL'd).

      This thread sure turned into a Slashdot moment REALLY FAST.

        I guess this will be news for the OSS space in 1 year's time, now.

          Survival of the company tends to be more important than ideological purity ... unless one's an ideologue**, I guess.

          ** I'm using the polite term here.

            I quit using KDE/QT month ago because of CLA-WAR insanity because of this anyone should stop using QT products because CLA-WAR is the death pill to any free developer who is independent.

            also it is a fact that KDE/QT put in security holes like the folder autostart lately removed because any usb stick who is plugged into a KDE linux is autostarting whatever virus is in the folder. so chinese communist hackers can attack linux dirt cheap.

            anyone who cares about security should avoid KDE/QT at all cost.

Does it exist? As you say "that requires you to do a bit of work and not rely on marketing speak".
              Major versions of Gnome are now considered LTS. You can read more here.
