I am not sure:

Imagine a problem with kernel Linux 5.10 right now.

I am using the oldest LTS version always and, in 2 years, I finish in version 5.10.

I didn't read the post of that version in that time because I didn't need it, but now I need it and happens that anyone replied a workaround that works for me and want to ask again.

Why should I open another thread and expect people to unread that one (even if I reference it in the new thread most people will ignore) and post likely the same unsuccessful replies now?

Could happen the same with a discussion around a topic, people recycling arguments already discussed again and the situation goes to a no point.
