OK, So in this case we 'only' have to follow the version for the distribution date and move this at each EOL distribution date. I understood that this kind of evolution is easier than a kernel evolution. Could you confirm please ? I will stop boring you after :) Thanks again for your help. Best regards.

Yes, distributions may choose to maintain their own LTS versions. If you are basing your work on a distribution like Debian and aren't shipping your own kernel, then you should plan your work around the distribution's announced EOL dates. -K
