F43 Emergency Change Proposal / Acceptance: 2G /boot partition (System-Wide Change)

Why? Distros like Arch, OpenSUSE, NixOS, Gentoo use the stable kernel while also offering the longterm kernel

I didn’t check if oS TW had a LTS kernel in repos, but I didn’t really have a reason to ever check :stuck_out_tongue: (it’s rolling so I just expect latest-and-greatest everywhere). I feel that way with Fedora implementing newer tech.

Because additional kernel packages increase the support burden, and there’s only one kernel maintainer. For our ā€œstaying close to upstreamā€ philosophy and working with upstream to improve the Linux kernel, there is no benefit to shipping a stale kernel version series of any kind, including the linux-longterm series.

No criticism, if there is just one maintainer it is not a good idea of course
