To nit-pick, LTS = Long Term Support

It's not quite 'fully supported'. The extra support (after the standard
approx 3 years) is only for a subset of architectures and packages [1].
Also, hat support isn't done by the Debian security team, which in my
experience means that security updates can come day's or weeks after
the Stable release gets them. (That isn't intended to be a criticism of
the people working on LTS, just an observation so people considering
relying on LTS know they may need to be a bit more proactive when
security issues emerge.)
