Hmm. That does not leave us too much time.

FAQ states:

# Why are some longterm versions supported longer than others?  The
# "projected EOL" dates are not set in stone. Each new longterm kernel
# usually starts with only a 2-year projected EOL that can be extended
# further if there is enough interest from the industry at large to
# help support it for a longer period of time.

Is there anyone else interested in continued 4.4.X maintainence?

CIP project will need to maintain 4.4.X-cip and 4.4.X-cip-rt for some
more years. Do you think it would make sense to maintain 4.4.X-stable
as well? What would be requirements for doing so?

Best regards,
