@Mark or @Leo
This guideline, and the code comment in 'gnu/packages/linux.scm', don't
make sense to me.
All of the kernel packages offered by Guix right now are current LTS
kernels. Do you mean "Always points to the newest released LTS version?"
Yours makes it more clear. So,
linux-libre => Always points to the latest released version.
linux-libre-lts => Always points to the newest released LTS version.
I have attached a patch to update the comment in linux.scm. Could any of
you push it please?
Regards,
RG.
