In general, while I do appreciate that a lot of developers and news outlets are on my side on this, but I think there is one thing I believe that we get fundamentally wrong: the issue is not LTS, and I would argue that LTS actually has nothing to do with this, as it is just a technical detail.
In my opinion, this is inherently a downstream attitude problem. I believe the most brutal recent example was between Fedora and OBS Studio, where OBS Studio was ready to sue Fedora over misusing trademarks and brushing it off. Fedora is not an LTS distribution, but it shared the same inherent attitude that (in this case) Linux Mint had.

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems for OBS I understood it was also a problem with licenses, and fedora policies over providing certain codecs. Although it was also communication because I didn't read this, it was my interpretation in between the lines.

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems At least I didn't see anybody defending Fedora and their right to ship broken software under OBS's trademark

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems question: is it not possible/easier just to close issues generated by an older version of the app? I hear KDE is using bot to do this.
