Greg Kroah-Hartman proudly announced last evening, August 20th, that the 3.4 branch of the Linux kernel would be maintained for at least 2 years.

The famous Linux kernel developer said that he would still maintain the Linux kernel 3.0 for one more year, and Linux kernel 3.5 until Linux kernel 3.6.1 is out.

"As I'm getting a few questions about this, and I realized that I never sent out an email about this, yes, the 3.4 kernel tree will be the next -longterm kernel that I will be maintaining for at least 2 years."

"Currently I'm maintaining the following stable kernel trees for the following amount of time: 3.0 - for at least one more year; 3.4 - for at least two years; 3.5 - until 3.6.1 is out," said Greg Kroah-Hartman in the email announcement.
