I don't think anyone would sign up as a user for such "support". LTS is about a fairly specific promise that is very hard to commit to.
How so? It would be a legacy effort, run by volunteers, no guarantees, no commitments.
So would that satisfy /you/ in very particular? You would come screaming bloody murder when one fine summer day, out of the blue, the "LTS" you were planning on using for a few months more until you are ready to migrate to the Latest And Greatest announces it will stop out of boredom of its last maintainers... or just /the/ package you depend on is left stranded for lack of interest... or terrible security problems in some unmaintained packages show up...
