Linux gives up on 6-year LTS kernels, says they’re too much work

The LTS (long-term support) period for the Linux kernel is being cut down. In 2017, the kernel jumped from two years of support to six. Now, six years later, it turns out that's a lot of work. ZDNet reports that at the Open Source Summit Europe this week (videos will be out in a few weeks), Linux Weekly News executive editor Jonathan Corbet announced the Linux kernel will return to two years of LTS support.

I upgrade my linux versions every two years anyway. Maybe they can take the "saved resources" by removing those extra 4 years and target more aggressive support on the current version being used. Just a thought.
