I recall that we had a much clearer definition than that, and that we
actually wrote it down. What I recall:

- Bugfixes releases guaranteed at least 1.5 years (or was it 2?)
- Wayland explicitely part of this promise
- All modules in kde/workspace
- outside of the release dates planned in above schedule, we'll release
  updates as needed

But:
- What about the frameworks dependency, will we be shipping important
  bugfixes to 5.43 as well (like we did with Plasma 5.8)?
