you will always have idiots thinking "old is stable" and it is your
choice to do not support customers with such setups and you
have to define minimum requirements for projects

this has nothing to do with LTS or not LTS


as example: we require php5.3 and if somebody has a unusable hoster
the domain is transferred to our infrastructure and all problems
gone away
