Greg Kroah-Hartman has decided to maintain the Linux 3.14 code-base as a long-term stable kernel release.

By becoming a long-term stable release, the Linux 3.14 kernel will now be supported through August 2016. The previous LTS kernel maintained by Greg KH is Linux 3.10 and is to be supported through September 2015, while Jiri Slaby of SUSE is also maintaining Linux 3.12 as a stable kernel series maintained through some time in 2016.

Confirmation of Linux 3.14 being a long-term stable kernel for the next two years was made today on the LKML.
