FAQ states: # Why are some longterm versions supported longer than others? The # "projected EOL" dates are not set in stone. Each new longterm kernel # usually starts with only a 2-year projected EOL that can be extended # further if there is enough interest from the industry at large to # help support it for a longer period of time. Is there anyone else interested in continued 4.4.X maintainence? CIP project will need to maintain 4.4.X-cip and 4.4.X-cip-rt for some more years. Do you think it would make sense to maintain 4.4.X-stable as well? What would be requirements for doing so?
