+Hey folks! Sorry about the delay in getting this batch out but I had other
+distractions going on here last week that prevented getting this one wrapped
+up. Anyway, probably the highlight of this update set is that we've decided
+to abandon the 5.10 LTS kernel in favor of following the latest one. We've
+never really had a policy that required LTS in a stable release although that
+is how it has been done for years, but based on comments from the Slackware
+community it seems like 5.10 LTS isn't getting a lot of love and lacks
+hardware support that people need now. Conversely, the reports on 5.12 have
+been almost entirely positive, so we're going to provide what we think is the
+best available kernel. It's unlikely that we'll see another LTS prior to
+release, so the plan for maintenance is to keep following the latest kernels
+as needed for security purposes. If that means we have to jump to a new branch
+while supporting the stable release, we'll start the kernel out in testing
+first until we've had some feedback that it's safe to move it to the patches
+directory. Sooner or later we will end up on an LTS kernel again, and at that
+point we'll just roll with that one. Feel free to comment (or complain) about
+this plan on LQ... I'll be curious to see what people think. Anyway, enjoy!
