Here we want to find, discuss and organize strategies for
Drupal Long Term Support (Drupal LTS).
The final Drupal 7 is released and …
"Drupal 5 will no longer be supported or receive security updates, and you will need to update your Drupal 5 sites to Drupal 6 at that time." http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info
The end of this support is a strategic problem for some people. Especially if a Drupal service company tries to get a big investment in a big Drupal project.
Our goal is some kind of Drupal-Core-LTS and a lot of example.module-LTS like ubuntu server LTS.
Especially all the Drupal service companies which are already doing a lot of LTS-work for their clients are invited to concentrate their work.
"Support" means at first "Security support"!
Here are some additional information: http://groups.drupal.org/node/111339
And here is the first project: http://drupal.org/project/lts
Long Term Support (LTS) BoF at DrupalCon Portland
Exaltation of Larks is hosting a BoF (birds of a feather) discussion on long-term Drupal support (particularly for Drupal 6 sites when Drupal 8 comes out and bug fixes and security releases for Drupal 6 are discontinued).
Long Term Support is a topic that is near and dear to us and a number of our clients and this BoF is a followup to our earlier post, Drupal 6 End of Life When Drupal 8 is Released… Or Not.
We're also preparing an "LTS" version of Drupal 6 and have a lot more planned. Stay tuned to the DrupalCon BoF schedule and @LarksLA on Twitter for news of when this BoF gets scheduled.

Drupal.org modules feature request > module php compatibility
Yesterday I was visiting a company with performance issues. I bumped into some corporate trouble.
As I only recently joined the company, decisions were made before my time. We are making a drupal 6 site. There are many reasons for this.
It was planned like that a long time ago
We need modules that aren’t/weren’t ported yet
The client agreed to that.
There is no way of moving to drupal 7 (yet).
According to the drupal requirements page http://drupal.org/requirements#php
Note that some contributed modules may not be compatible with PHP 5.3, …

Security backports for the Drupal LTS concept
How do you plan to backport security fixes?
Will you just wait for the release of Drupal 6 and backport them?
Do you plan to offer a system and some method to promote people reporting vulnerabilities in Drupal 5 even if it is EOL?
