Hi, I am pretty sure kernel 4.19 and 5.4 will get 6 years support like the previous versions. For kernel 4.9 and 4.14 kernel initially listed only 1 or 2 years support, but this was extended. Currently Google pays for this support, so that Android phones get updates and they have no plan to do major kernel updates. Hauke
