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

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?
