For what it is worth, I would really prefer if we only keep each LTS until
the next one is out (i.e., one year). The reason being that running new
user space on an old kernel is explicitly not supported and not tested (the
converse is of course ok), so the longer our lts kernel lags user space the
bigger the risk of inadvertently introduced regressions.

Cheers,

Tom
