> LTS kernels are no longer supported for 6 years because it turns out no one used them

I assumed companies use a lot of LTS software for servers to avoid frequent upgrades that always carry some chance of breaking stuff. Could you please elaborate more or link me to some place where I can read more about this?

If for-profit companies need to use older kernels, they can hire engineers using the profits?

[GTP]

Yes, they can. But it's different from saying that no-one uses them.

[akaij]

I'm sure the nuance is not lost on the people that made the decision.

I'm just wondering if it is actually how you said, i.e. they don't want to provide free support to companies vs how he write, i.e. not enough users.
