Hi Norbert,
I would say 'finally'. This is great news and a good initiative. This will certainly help move Pharo forward. I wish you all the best.

Norbert,
this is a great initiaitive and a much-needed step in the right direction. An LTS Pharo is really a must for many commercial projects. I wish you best of luck and success! A little side note on the "Why PharoPro?" section on your website: The commercial entity behind Ubuntu is Canonical. Ubuntu is the name of the distribution and Canonical is the company. If you'd like to use an analogy with European context, mentioning SuSE might be a nice addition. Or NextCloud, which has a lot of visibility these days. Maybe adding a few more examples is a good idea anyways in order to show the concept is not new at all and has been successfull in many places - both for the open source project and for the company/ies.

But sometimes the terms everyone knows are better to raise understanding than to use the correct ones. But yes, after the third person saying that I'll change the text.
