https://twitter.com/gregkh/status/913676688436924417 https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/03/linux_kernel_long_term_support_extended_from_two_to_six_years/ https://itsfoss.com/linux-lts-kernel-six-years/ Granted, I haven't yet seen an explicit "Kernel 4.14 will be supported for six years", but pulling some quotes from the articles: "Greg Kroah-Hartman has given me permission to announce this here: He will extend LTS to six years, starting with kernel 4.4." "LTS is LTS. Greg Kroah-Hartman, the LTS maintainer, is committing to do [a six-year LTS]. Not because of Google or Android or Treble, but because everything is on LTS; it’s not on upstream."
