Many are praising the recent releases of PHP for their quality and performance improvements, and I wouldn't dare argue against that. However, the current release schedule of PHP makes things a little bit difficult for sysadmins. We're now using php-fpm docker containers so that we can (sort-of almost) keep up with PHP updates without doing OS upgrades every single year. A LTS version would be welcome!

PHP 8.2 will get official security updates until December 8, 2025, how much longer do you need?

I see 5 years as a good minimum for LTS. Perhaps it's a personal bias, since our OS of choice (Debian) offers LTS for 5 years.

Edit for context: the small business that I work for takes on all kinds of random web work. It's not uncommon at all for us to be asked to rescue an application or website that's still running on PHP 5. For projects that we have initiated, by the time we migrate them all to PHP 8.2, it will be End of Life.
