Subject[PATCH] 4.9 is a longterm kernel
Message-ID<t1lgd-2aI-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Might as well just mark it as such now, to head off the constant
questions.  Yes, 4.9 is the next longterm supported kernel version.

Partially applied. The releases script doesn't currently handle the 
situation where there isn't at least one tree with the "stable" moniker 
-- which is a bug, but the fix is non-trivial and will require testing.  
So, for now, until 4.10 is released, I'm not marking 4.9 as "longterm" 
on the landing page in order not to break things. I will work on 
adjusting the logic so that we don't have to do this in the future.

When 4.10 is out, I'll properly mark 4.9 as longterm on the landing page 
-- for now it's only indicated as such on the releases page.

Ah, ok, I kept telling people I couldn't mark anything as "LTS" until it
actually had a chance to be dropped as a "normal" stable kernel.  Turns
out you coded the site based on that as well :)

I'll send you a follow-on patch once 4.10 is out if you happen to
forget.

thanks,
