While these are 14 year old models, it'd be really cool if companies at least got in the habit of designation at least one device as being LTS

That way consumers can choose if they want latest and greatest (but with a limited lifespan) or an LTS model that will last forever (but maybe has less fancy features and is much simpler, but functional)

If Google put out a Nest LTS that was lower MSRP, had very little features, and was very minimalist, but had a 30 year LTS gaurentee, I'd buy it.
