[wlug] Re: Linux gives up on 6-year LTS kernels, says they’re too much work

'The other big problem is the burnout from maintainers, which are often unpaid and could use a lot more support from the billion-dollar companies that benefit from using Linux.'

Every time I hear of an open-source project offering LTS versions, I immediately think: why do this for free? The only groups who would need such a thing should be quite capable of paying for it.

I agree. If you make a business off the back of an open-source project, then you can pay for LTS. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, Hamilton, NZ Mobile +64 22 190 2375 https://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
