PATCH 1/1 4.9 is a longterm kernel

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

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,
