Better keep it marked EOL so that it remains dissuasive enough. Greg
inherited from that kernel which he didn't choose to tag LTS and it
got used and deployed to a point where not fixing it leaves many
users at risk. Hopefully he'll be able to kill it without prior
public warning, so EOL seems to make sense here.
