[elrepo] Current status of kernel-ml and kernel-lt

[contact at elrepo.org]

ELRepo Kernel Users:

We felt that some technical comments following Alan’s death were in 
order and would answer many questions users might have.

Both kernel-ml and kernel-lt updates will continue to be provided by 
ELRepo for el7, el8 and el9 following policies that have been in place 
for many years. Future kernel builds will be carried out by Akemi 
(toracat) and Steve (whn), both of whom have been doing kernel builds 
for some time.

As has been past practice, we will attempt to accommodate future request 
for kernel enhancements through changes in the kernel configuration. We 
will refer users with kernel patches to kernel.org for incorporation 
into future kernels. Please continue to file kernel 
requests-for-enhancement through the ELRepo bug tracker at 
https://elrepo.org/bugs/.

Also, please excuse our initial mistakes, and there have already been a 
couple needing fixes. Although neither kernel builders are new to kernel 
building, tracking the latest kernel.org kernel is a little trickier 
than their normal activities.
