Hello,
I saw that the projected EOL of LTS 5.15 is Oct 2023. How likely is it that the date will be extended? I'm guessing it's pretty likely, given that Android uses it.
Android is the only user that has talked to me about this kernel version so far. Please see: http://kroah.com/log/blog/2021/02/03/helping-out-with-lts-kernel-releases/ for what I require in order to keep an LTS kernel going longer than 2 years.
If your group at Google is going to rely on this kernel version, please read the above link and talk to me about it.
Yes, we are going to rely on this kernel version. I know Guenter (cced) has done (and is still doing) testing on -rc versions, but if more is needed I'm sure we can find a way.
Thanks, -- Suleiman
