I'd argue that in many respects, the ElRepo group is one of the
primary reasons I've stayed on with Centos as it gives me newer
kernels than what Redhat/Centos will. Packages is an entirely
different discussion and I digress. Understanding all that, the
4.4.x kernels are already quite old. I don't have a good
understanding of all the work that goes on behind the scenes for
the ElRepo team to release new LT and ML packages but would it be
possible to add more LT kernels? Maybe not all three of them but
maybe 4.4 (for the conservative people), 4.14 (for the people who
need a long life yet want a mostly modern kernel, and then the ML
line for the bleeding edge users? I know this becomes more and
more additive over the years but maybe a little more can be done
to keep Centos up to date?<br>

kernel-ml is the *current* mainline kernel release. It was 4.14 until 4.15.0
was released. It will be 4.15.x until 4.16.0 is released, and so on.
If you want to stay on a single LTS branch, you want kernel-lt which is
currently 4.4.x, and will stay as 4.4.x as long as the 4.4 branch is
supported upstream by kernel.org.

Thanks, Phil.
I was under the impression that 4.14, 4.9, and 4.4 were all LTS branches.

Yes, longterm on kernel.org
elrepo.org is maintaining only two branches "longterm" (4.4 until 2022) and "mainline" (latest of kernel.org).</pre>
