I think the excess "resources" it has is cash. Human brains are a bit more constrained inside the LF, from what I gather. From TFA: > Kernel end-of-life dates mean very little for users, even at the enterprise level. Enterprise Linux distros have already been supporting official expired kernels for decades. It's strange to think of LF "throwing it over the wall" on a timeline of years and decades, but the vendors really do assume the LTS responsibility as part of their value proposition, no?
