A question is whether that is truly positive. A long cycle means that each update becomes a project in itself disrupting whatever else you are doing. (After 10 years so many things changed everywhere, that you need to bring so many things together ...) With frequent updates it is part of the ongoing process.

(And yes, there are cases for which one can make an argument)

There's absolutely an argument that, for many companies, if you're dependent on a long-term stable release for everything (especially in the absence of actual paid support) you're probably doing it wrong.
