Android was the prime helper of LTS kernel maintenance. They're the entire reason that LTS kernels even exist! https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/jiky5j/l

  Oh! so I guess the plan didn't exactly work out as expected :/ So I guess if something as sizeable and impactful as Android can't reliably move the needle towards 7 to 10 years of maintained stability then the only way forward is a few select ones providing forked stability and the remainder has to continually upgrade to keep being maintained.
