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“.
