I think that a practical decision point could be a month or two after the
initial release,  when it can be seen that it is a good one or a
problematic one to skip.

Users that are careful about which version to install usually defer to that
point (or later), so that if they also know which version is going to have
an extended maintenance, the decision is easier. For both sides :-)

I know it can not be decided in advance :-)

What is bad is deciding some months before demise, because LTS users did
not decide at release to install it, and thus loose a year of maintenance.

12.1 is not a good one to choose, I think. Systemd is still green, and
gnome... well, gnome its not a good stable point.
