In addition to what @Hypolite Petovan has already said, I would like to point out that I think that "upgrading friendica is not necessarily an easy task" is not really true. You can even set up a machine that updates itself automatically. All you need is to have installed your system using git clone. And then all you have to do to update is git pull origin stable && php bin/composer.phar install --no-dev (the same command without the composer has to be done inside the addon folder). And you could even put this in your cron setup so that it is done every day or every week.

Also: Even if we had the manpower to maintain such an "LTS" version, there would still be a need to update the system frequently.

Concerning the "stepping stones". I read your message about this. But I can't answer this out of my head. I would have to read all the release notes as well, to be able to collect this data.
