Just to finish this off (and only having come back to this), on his
Google+ page [1] Greg KH has said that /only/ 4.4 is currently in line
for "extended long-term support" from him, and 4.14 is only currently
planned to get two years.

4.14 /could/ get six (or more) depending on how 4.4 goes and/or whether
another kernel maintainer would pick it up.

However, there's a lot of "ifs" in there. So, ignore me and carry on as
you were. :)

(though having an LTS release on an LTS kernel would make for a nice
symmetry ;)

FWIW, this is the *only* reply to this thread that I will ever do. I'm
too busy following my secret agenda to reply to the other mails...


BTW, Martin.

I knew you were ;-).












So Martin responded to a thread about systemd 
PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames.


I said that it was not in the interest of end users and that the choice 
to make this the default could be explained by putting business 
consumers first.


He considered that a conspiracy, and then 5 months later he is employed 
by that very same company that only has enterprise clients and that was 
pushing those changes. ;-).
