Ad hominem attacks aside, the long term support for RHEL really is
long term (7+ years).  How will an Ubuntu server -- ordinary or LTS --
receive security updates when it is nearing 5, 6, 7 years old?

Will you bet your company that Canonical will still be around that
long, given that their current business is heavily loss-making?  I
posted some figures about this previously here:
