After lengthy discussions on the mailing list of Linux kernel developer
Greg Kroah-Hartman will continue each year elect one kernel version to
the Long Term kernel. He should then be provided over two years with
updates. All the other kernels are as usual only to shortly after the
release of the successor will be maintained. When Long Term kernel wants
Kroah-Hartman select kernel versions, which have proven particularly
well or that are used for example in major Linux distributions.
Currently, five versions of the kernel as a Long Term kernel maintained
by different maintainers: 2.6.27 and 06/02/32 to 06/02/35. Greg
Kroah-Hartman is responsible for 2.6.32, but will adjust their care in
half a year.
