I see posts on LWN (or other sources) for kernel minor version releases, |
| 2 |
such as this one: https://lwn.net/Articles/811334/ The notes will |
| 3 |
typically say that users should upgrade to that minor version due to bug |
| 4 |
fixes or security patches. |

I know that gentoo-sources tracks on the most current LTS kernel |
| 7 |
release, currently 4.19.97. However, these versions seem to usually be |
| 8 |
slightly behind the 'recommended' minor version number. |

Why is this? Is it because the Gentoo patchset precludes the issues |
| 11 |
that are being resolved by the LTS releases? Are the issues considered |
| 12 |
significantly minor enough that they don't warrant a version bump for |
| 13 |
gentoo-sources? |

No complaint or dissatisfaction being expressed here, just curious why |
| 16 |
this seems to be, and if I should consider accepting ~amd64 for a newer |
| 17 |
version. |
