My bet is that the companies that can afford to will create their own “LTS” versions that just get older and older, and more broken and exploited as time goes on
They will trade in the Confidentiality and Integrity for just Availability.
When something like a hack finally drops the availability they will be forced to act.
They will never do a pentest tho.
Same story all over from government, small companies, all the way up to medical in big corporate hospitals and systems that could cause harm to human life.
Security is at most a checkbox somewhere that just gets checked regardless of the true state of the system. If it still works don't fix it.
So more like a "Long Term Unsupported" LTU?
I vote for “Long-Term Supported But We Cut The Staff Down To The IT Intern”, or LTSBWCTSDTTITI for short.
