We have discussed extending it but we currently only have the funding for the originally planned 2 years.

We are pleased to announce that our April 2022 release (potentially 3.5) will be the next LTS as per our original two year schedule. If there are features desired in the next LTS, now is the time to get them submitted and stabilized ready.
What will happen to the current LTS at that point? Will support be cut off, will there be a transition window, or is it currently undefined?
We have discussed extending it but we currently only have the funding for the originally planned 2 years. Discussions are continuing but since we do all agree that the next LTS will start then, we decided to at least let people plan against that.
Unless funding/support is secured, dunfell would move to community support if anyone were willing to step up, or become EOL and replaced by the new LTS. There would likely be some period of overlap of a few months to transition.
There is also concern about pressuring wider community layers for longer support cycles which is something we need to think about.
