@thomasfuchs wouldn't that require entire groups of people willing to keep looking for security vulnerabilities in and do updates for every single thing, policies regarding CA certificate list updating, etc?
@9pfs yes and e.g. Ubuntu does it for you for free for 10 years (LTS and ESM [up to 5 servers]) and then an extra five if you pay
It shouldn't be weird to want this.
The main web app I'm running turns 18 this year and has been continuously deployed, though we had to move Ubuntu LTS versions (can be a major pain) twice so far for essentially no reason other than lack of security patches.

@zrail Do they guarantee 25 years of security updates with no feature changes, though?
@thomasfuchs oh right of course. No, I don't think that's available, at least for free.
Being serious for a bit, that's not really a fair thing to ask of an open source project. That's something you pay quite a lot of money to IBM or Wind River or (gag) Microsoft for.
