    <br>
    I'd strongly vote for 1 single LTR at a time (be it every 1 or 2
    years).<br>
    <br>
    If there should be more, it's the organization in need's call to
    bring in the manpower for the support.<br>
    <br>
    I also think that we should be clear that the LTR is provided on all
    platforms supported on its first release (.0 patch). Every other
    platform may be added but there is no guarantee.<br>
