why don't we have a long release (even no.) released every year which has
support for 2 more long releases. scrap odd no. releases for fortnightly
test releases like opensolaris.

Basically there's no interest in it.
I would say your flogging a dead horse.

There's interest alright, though it's unclear at the moment whether that interest
will develop into any *work* being done by those interested.  Either way, probably not all
that relevant for *this* list. :)

My question is: how will RH look upon a Fedora LTS distribution, that 
upgrades correctly and easy when next LTS release is out. This will most 
likely eat a part of the RHEL userbase. Will it even be possible for the 
Fedora community to publish an LTS considering the above?

will eat some rh users.

but will also eat all centos users.

for redhat the best is the people using fedora instead of centos.

so if you look at it in the long run RH will get more users.. at first 
they might see a drop in the RHEL userbase. next users using different 
distros will switch to Fedora LTS, and in the long run some of the 
Fedora LTS'ers will go for RHEL. They might even gain users!
