The problem is that you need to backport security patches that you
don’t get from upstream. E.g. for PHP 5.6. As far as the PHP project
is concerned the bugfix for PHP 5.6 is PHP 7.x and PHP 5.6 is dead.

If you create an LTS branch with that older version there is the implicit
promise that it will be maintained.

Redhat does this. I don’t know how large their department for backporting
is but i guess it is „huge“.
