Note that you can also start on short term releases then slide into a
long term release when a new one comes out, IF you're developing now
for a release some years in the future.  I.e. start on Fedora Core,
and migrate to Centos or RHEL, or start on non-LTS builds of ubuntu
and so on.  For OSes that have shorter spaces between LTS releases
like Ubuntu this is often the best way to put a fast system in the
field from development.  But keep in mind you may have work fixing any
issues that pop up from an upgrade before or shortly after you go
live.
