Worries kernels supported

Worries kernels supported

[akuster808]

Hello,

I noticed there are 3 kernels in Warrior. 4.18, 4.19 an 5.0. Do we
really need 4.18?
I see its the default version for poky-tiny. 4.18 is EOL but maintained
by Windriver.

regards,
Armin

4.18 needed to be around through M3 to backstop some layers and references
that were being updated.

I may delete it as part of M4, but really, since I kept it through M3, I may not
churn it in M4.  I handle all the support load on the linux-yocto
reference kernels,
so it shouldn't cause any one harm one way or the other.

I keep a very close eye on the versions, so nothing is around by chance or
by mistake .. and best to just copy me on the email, since I can
easily miss them
in the noise.

... aaaaand you did copy me.  gmail sucks at showing me the headers
and I just got off 27 hours of planes,
so sorry about the noise.

I also meant to say, if someone wants to update poky-tiny to use 4.19
(it wouldn't be a huge effort, but
there's probably some config wrangling needed), I would definitely be
willing to remove 4.18 from master.
It will definitely be gone after the upcoming release.

I agree with Khem, keep 4.19 since it is LTS
