I'm sure I don't understand this: According to "https://www.kernel.org/"; kernel 6.6.27 is "longterm", but according to "eix" the most recent 6.6.* kernels are 6.6.22 and 6.6.23 which both are non-stable (well, I ran my last "sync" immediately before the profile upgrade, so this might not be current). I'm still using stable kernel 6.6.13 as my backup ker- nel, but this kernel is no longer provided by Gentoo. So, what precise- ly does LTS or "longterm" mean? But, to get back to the beginning of this discussion: if there is a risk that my aging hardware possibly can less and less cope with newer and newer kernels, should I put something like >=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.7.0 into file "package.mask" to stay with "longterm" 6.6.* kernels?
