After talking with a bunch of different companies / groups, we've now bumped the length of a few of the longterm kernels we are supporting:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/website.git/commit/?id=d04587da86a3464881e0c97aabddd2c271105698

As always, the dates can be found at:https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

@gregkh Dunno who is tuning the puzzles or why that is good idea, but I'm looking at "making sure you are not a bot" for 3 minutes now :-(.

@gregkh it might be good to put the number of commits with "Fixes" and "Cc: stable" that didn't get backported next to each kernel version to push people to upgrade quicker 🙂

Or the number of known CVEs without a backport for each kernel version? 🐛

(Or maybe that will add even more pressure on kernel maintainers?)
