The one does not discount the other. In other words: disregarding the lts misunderstanding it still appears true that the Linux foundation is abandoning Linux kernel development. At least financially. Worth a look I guess.

Also: thank you for all your contributions to Linux for all these years!

The amount of resources and other stuff that the LF provides to the Linux kernel community has increased over the years, including last year. Just because new people are brought in with new projects (that the LF member companies want to host) does not mean that somehow less is being given to the kernel community at all. It is not a zero-sum game here at all, that's not how the LF works in any way.

Again, this would have been easy to verify if someone just asked us.

So to repeat, no "abandonment" is happening here at all, the opposite is happening, just like it has for the entirety of the LF's existence, support has grown every year.

you cant keep up with the fire-hose of nonsense that is the internet. Don't try, its such a waste of your skills and appreciated efforts.

If it gets enough attention just put a simple refutation or clarification on the foundations front page and move on.
