@kees @vegard @corbet @kernellogger They are? news to me :)

We start out at 2, and then after a year see what companies need/want/desire and are willing to work for having a longer period. Right now 2 years is rough, so we're doing longer.

Ideally I'd love to only do 2 years, maybe next year? Or it not, the year after that? I'm not going anywhere, we'll get there eventually as people learn that attempting to keep a fixed release on top of a highly moving project with thousands of fixes a month, is not a good idea for a variety of reasons...
