Hi Phill,

Thank you for your reply but I appreciate if the devs could answer my Qs
because what you have said I'm aware of and this is what we tell our new
users. I am asking for more information :)

@Our Devs:

Another Q:
What makes LXLE, which is based on Lubuntu 12.04 an LTS release? while LXLE
is Lubuntu 12.04 with different apps and tweaks ONLY!

Another Q:
Can I just create a system based on Ubuntu 12.04 or Lubuntu 12.04 and claim
it is LTS just because I'm able to answer some Qs for 5 years or what?

I seriously need a deep yet simple answer :)
And I believe our Devs can enlighten myself and others with the same Qs.

Thanks!
