  90. <p>Buildroot's Long Term Support (LTS) branch is maintained thanks to the
  91. <a href="https://mind.be/buildroot-lts">LTS Sponsoring program</a>. Its
  92. goal is to provide three or more years of stable support for your
  93. Buildroot deployments. The success of this venture depends on the
  94. generosity of sponsors like you, willing to make a change and ensuring
  95. the longevity of Buildroot's reliability.</p>
  96. <p>Prior to this initiative, LTS maintenance was handled by volunteers.
  97. As a result, it was limited to just one year. In addition, it diverted
  98. maintainer time away from mainline development, slowing down the overall
  99. progress of the project.</p>
  100. <p>Thanks to LTS sponsoring, the entire community gets access to a better
  101. and longer maintained LTS branch. The sponsors get access to some
  102. additional perks, such as selecting which packages to focus on, reports
  103. with information that is relevant for you, and direct contact with the
  104. LTS maintainers.</p>
