Is anybody still using 4.19 at least occasionally?
Hi, I am all for removing 4.19 since it's not used at all. Regression testing on it does not seem useful as newer userspace could easily lead to regressions on it. Currently, it's only complicating maintaining patches and adding more code. My 2 cents.
