Should this patch be backported to all stable releases? I see Cc: stable
on message header, but not in the patch trailer.

I don't think so; unless people read stable versions of the
documentation rather than HEAD?
Perhaps I didn't need to cc stable, but I think that's ok for
notifying people who are interested in stable, not necessarily
strictly for backports?
Either way, thanks again for the reviews+suggestions.

I think most people will simply read the documentation from master branch
(as in docs.kernel.org).
Thanks.

Hi jon,
I noticed extraneous Rule: tag (as carried from kernel test robot [1])
in the applied patch:
commit 394df0afde11fa77c27e671ea91f74cb6440f86e
Author: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
Date: Fri Oct 14 10:10:40 2022 -0700
Documentation: process: replace outdated LTS table w/ link
The existing table was a bit outdated.
3.16 was EOL in 2020.
4.4 was EOL in 2022.
5.10 is new in 2020.
5.15 is new in 2021.
We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022.
Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from
multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to
be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.
