Where I believe the whole project is disjointed is that without an LTS,
the TDF/LibreOffice project cuts itself out of the large
institutional/organizational market. I doubt very much that a large
institution wishing to save money on licensing fees would be very
willing to spend the savings on devs trying to keep a version of
LibreOffice up and working from one budget period to the next reasonable
budget term.

If you see it like that, I agree. But if a larger organisation deploys e.g. a 3.6.6, then looks at the 4.0.4/5/6, or skip that and start again looking at 4.1.4, there is a quite large time frame, which gives the situation a bit more nuances. I bet it's not uncommon that organisations stick with versions for years, because they want to avoid the burden of updating. Which is something they learned trough time. (A burden that IMHO is pretty low considered that you understand the process and spent time at the right moments.)

Cor
