Maybe a separate topic, and not entirely feasible for the kernel summit,
but it might be worthwhile figuring out why companies are or are not
using LTSI. My major problem with it was always that it is just a collection
of patches, not a kernel tree, meaning merges or cherry-picks are non-trivial.
Sure, one can create a kernel tree from it, but that is not the same.
