Long term support means that if they wake up in the morning and while  
they are reading their newspaper over breakfast see an article about a  
Linux security bug, they will open a bug and backport the fix,

If it is something that only gets published on such obscure  
publications as Ars Technia,  etc. They will ignore it.
