LTSB problem silicon support - potential risk with Zen, Cannonlake, and newer CPUs

Windows 10 LTSBs, will support the processors available at the time of release of the LTSB. As future processor generations are released, support will be created through future Windows 10 LTSB releases that customers can deploy for those systems. This enables us to focus on deep integration between Windows and the processor, while maintaining maximum reliability and compatibility with previous generation platforms and processors: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18581/lifecycle-policy-faq-windows-products.

At the time of the LTSB 2016 release, the latest processor families were Intel's Kaby Lake and AMD's Kaveri platforms. Newly released processors such as AMD Zen or Intel Cannonlake will most likely not be supported on LTSB 2016 as they will need modifications to the kernel and the system, and this is in conflict with the maximum reliability and compatibility goals.
