evergreen

Interesting project that I just became aware of: openSUSE "Evergreen."

The normal support period for openSUSE releases is "two releases plus two months," which works out to about an 18-month time span. Evergreen "is a community effort to prolong maintenance of selected openSUSE versions as they reach official end-of-life" -- kind of an LTS type of thing, I guess, but not "official" like Ubuntu LTS releases.
