We've discussed this topic internally few times and our conclusion was that we won't offer a LTS version for Piwik. Fragmentation of user base across many versions is a big problem for many open source projects, and we're trying to avoid this by aggressively pushing users to upgrade to latest version. Plus we don't have the resources (nor the willingness) to support multiple versions of Piwik (LTS would take our time away from higher value work). Also it's really important for us that users use the latest Piwik version since we always fix so many bugs and make dozens of improvements each month. "}}
