Greg KH just posted on the LKML this news:
Here's the state of the -stable kernel trees, as of January 18, 2010.
2.6.27-stable ... I'll probably keep maintaining it for at least 6-8 more months, but after that, I can not guarantee it's viability. Note, one other developer has volunteered to pick up the tree after I am finished with it, but I can not speak for him at this time. ... 2.6.32-stable
I'd like to announce that the 2.6.32-stable tree is also going to be maintained as a "long-term" stable release, living for 2-3 years, like the 2.6.27 kernel is. This is because a number (i.e. more than 2) Linux distributions are basing their "enterprise" releases on this kernel version, and it will make their lives easier if I keep it alive. ...
I suggest to move our LTS kernel to .32 series not before our kernel26 has moved to .33 series. Better a bit later than to fast.

I would like to move it sooner than later, early userspace needs more recent kernel without having hacks and workarounds. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
