What about them ? I don't think the OP means using the upstream kernel directly, just why they don't use the same version as the LTS version.

- tssva 6y agoReasons I can think of include: Not wanting to be tied to a kernel LTS release cycle you don't control. The need to backport features and hardware enablement to the LTS kernel significantly offsets some of the benefits of using a LTS kernel. The length of support for LTS kernels is significantly shorter than Redhat's length of support which means they would end up supporting it on their own for a significant timeframe anyways.
