It's a bit hard for a kernel to be "LTS" when it hasn't even had the
chance to move out of the "normal" stable release process, right? :)

Is there anything in your testing of 4.9 that you feel needs to be
resolved before you would feel comfortable using it as a LTS kernel?
How has it worked out for your platform and workload?  Any warning flags
that you feel would keep it from being a good LTS kernel?

thanks,
