'However, the number of Linux LTS series being maintained in tandem is growing and will ultimately depend upon how much these kernels are used by major industry players and how much commitment there is for testing of the point release candidates, etc.'
It always seemed to me, those who depend on LTS releases are using them in mission-critical business applications. In other words, they can afford to pay for the support. So why should upstream do it for free? Of course, some kind of formal sponsorship scheme would work, too.
