That is still one year ahead of us. And after that period, there will be an ELTS as you can see on https://typo3.org/typo3-cms/roadmap/. I think we can create a new major version dropping the support for CMS7, but still maintain a CMS7-supported version only fixing major issues.
Can we make a major version 7, that is supported as long as the CMS 7 LTS, and a version 8 that is for the CMS 8 branch?
Major rewrites could occur 'before' the next marjor release the next CMS version.
In this way, we can add new features to both supported CMS versions and not just let one of them 'bleed to death'. The users that most likely will be using the ELTS versions are also the users that will most likely be happy with any improvements because they depend on S3 for their large setups. We can keep those people happy too.
https://typo3.org/download states Security-related and important bugfixes until November 2018 for the LTS of CMS7, perhaps we should drop support for it around that time to ensure smooth development.
