Linux Distributors' Alliance Continues Long-Term Support for Linux 4.14


"Until recently, Linux kernel developers have been the ones keeping long-term support (LTS) versions of the Linux kernel patched and up to date," writes ZDNet. "Then, because it was too much work with too little support, the Linux kernel developers decided to no longer support the older kernels." ...

When there are cases where patches can't be applied cleanly, OpenELA kernel-lts maintainers will deal with these issues. And the CEO of CIQ adds that after community support has ended, "We believe that open collaboration is the best way to maintain foundational enterprise infrastructure. "Through OpenELA, vendors, users, and the open source community at large can work together to provide the longevity that professional IT organizations require for enterprise Linux."
