Very interesting, for the Debian based world 2 years isn't long, that's not even the lifespan of "stable" so I wonder if that will really happen due to the probable reaction from there. Less of an impact for many Artix users.

I think people are starting to recognize the benefits or rolling release distributions for ease of maintenance and fast security releases instead of maintaining LTS versions for many years at a time(by who knows who). Ten years ago they would call you a nut if you wanted to run a rolling release on the server, now it's starting to dawn that if you're using mature pieces of software, most of which maintain a single branch, everything is stable and you're super up to date with security fixes.
At least thats my 0.02

Yeah well, I am not a fan of needing to reboot every week after an update on the kernel.  I don't mind a LT Kernel.  I have machines running for YEARS.

i don't think the supposed 6 years of support was much respected since 5.15 will be until october 2026 so that's 5. ~4 years imo is a sensitive timeframe but 2 by default is indeed little.

anyway the work with backporting patches will just be passed on to these guys :D https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/start#kernel_maintainership
