NodeJS becomes LTS in October. That leaves people 11 months to switch. It is out right now albeit not LTS, so you can prep the switch and switch as soon as it becomes LTS.

If they’d move to LTS a month earlier, not a whole lot of people would gain something from it.

Some people like using Maintenance LTS, which only gets security and bug fixes (as opposed to Active LTS which can also get backported features)
