Yes, as Wolfy says, once the current kernel-lt (currently 5.4.x) reaches 
end of life (projected Dec 2025), we will need to go through a process 
of selecting a new best suitable candidate to replace it. However, I 
would venture that by Dec 2025, there will be better candidates than 
5.10.x which would only offer an additional 1 year of support at that time.

Anyway, the later half of 2025 will be the time to have that discussion.
