By Greg KH - August 20, 2012 - 2:45pm

As I posted to the linux-kernel mailing list, the 3.4 kernel tree will be the next -longterm kernel that I will be maintaining for at least 2 years.

3.0 - for at least one more year 3.4 - for at least two years 3.5 - until 3.6.1 is out

Hope this helps clear up any rumors floating around. If anyone has any please let me know.
