   The #LinuxKernel's stable team extended the support timeframe for #Linux 6.1 from four to five years:

   https://www.kernel.org/releases.html

   To quote @gregkh from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/website.git/commit/?id=e6083565a79c3d711c1a76d9312b8c00e06b826b:

   '" Bump 6.1.y support up to 5 years.

   Giving people a chance to phase in the shorter lifespans, if at all possible. Hopefully this should help a bit.'"

     @kernellogger @gregkh Does it mean the two next ones (6.6 and 6.12) will very likely be aligned on that date later on?

     @matttbe @kernellogger Maybe, maybe not. Please see my old post here: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2021/02/03/helping-out-with-lts-kernel-releases/ for what drives all of this (hint, people actually asking that they need it AND providing the help to make it possible.)
