As I'm not totally sure what you mean: Assuming we already had decided years ago to follow LTS-style, given GHC 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, 7.6, 7.8 and the future 7.10; which of those GHC versions would you have been considered a LTS version?
We continue to use 7.2, at least partly because all newer versions of ghc have had significant bugs that affect us. In fact, 7.2.2 also has a show-stopping bug, but we patched it ourselves to create our very own custom ghc-7.2.3 distribution.
I'd like to point out that's kinda ironic, as of *all* the GHC releases, you had to stay on the one major release that was considered a non-proper tech-preview... :-) Cheers, hvr
