#63779 — Why don't we have linux-5.0 instead of 4.19.0-4 which is the running kernel in Debian 'buster' i.e. testing ?

Dear Kernel team,

Please CC as I'm not subscribed to the list .

I saw the following news item few days back -

https://news.softpedia.com/news/linux-kernel-4-20-reaches-end-of-life-users-urged-to-upgrade-to-linux-5-0-525461.shtml

http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1903.2/02285.html

Currently we are using 4.19.0-4 according to the lastest updated
systems on buster .

$ uname -r
4.19.0-4-amd64

I see that 4.20 has been taken out of the archive and the 5.0 is there
but in experimental -

$ apt-cache policy linux-image-5.0.0-trunk-amd64
linux-image-5.0.0-trunk-amd64:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.0.2-1~exp1
  Version table:
     5.0.2-1~exp1 1
          1 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian experimental/main
amd64 Packages

What's stopping it to move to unstable and have an unblock and be for buster ?

4.19 is a LTS kernel. 4.20 and 5.0 are not.
