+# Gentoo's kernel maintainers have decided to discontinue gentoo-sources and
+# gentoo-kernel for old kernel LTS branches because of the resources to require
+# testing and patching them, combined with changing kernel lifecycles.
+#
+# The new policy is to support kernels with genpatches for 3 years after their
+# release.
+#
+# Specifically, 4.14/4.19/5.4 have been dropped. See https://www.mpagano.com/blog/?p=315
+# and http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2018/08/24/what-stable-kernel-should-i-use/.
+#
+# sys-kernel/vanilla-sources will continue to be provided for all branches
+# until they reach formal upstream EOL.
