> An excellent explanation here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
Especially this part :
"The LTS designation applies only to specific subsets of the Ubuntu
archive. The LTS may not apply to all flavors and remixes of Ubuntu.
For example, for 8.04 LTS, Kubuntu chose to move to KDE 4.0 and didn't
issue an LTS release. In 10.04, the Netbook Edition was not an LTS.
The project will decide which flavors will be LTS and the support
duration for each, early in the LTS development cycle. "

Not only you have to support it for 3 or 5 years, but you also have to
validate the decision to be LTS with the Tech Board. It means :
- Only official flavors can be call LTS
- Even if you want it, you still have to pass the Tech Board to
decision to be a LTS. They may refuse the proposal.
