Hi all, I also have been lurking on this list.
From my limited experience working on maintaining the kernel build for gcc423.cfarm.net for the past 1.5 year or so, all linux releases for stable-security can just be done for linux-libre, with changes limited to debian/changelog, or very occasionally a single patch added in debian/patches, which can be applied with no conflict. LTS kernels are stable and easy to maintain. If the Debian security team raises concerns about it, anyone can quote my words as proof.
gcc423 (cfarm423) has been shadowing the linux release in trixie, back when trixie was in testing. gcc423 uses a PAGESIZE=64k arm64 (linux-libre) kernel which is not available in Debian.
If linux-libre is available in Debian, I would like to switch to linux-libre on those Debianish machines I host for the gcc compile farm (cfarm420..430).
Even though I was told by someone last year, "we dont want to steer people towards Debian, we want to steer people away from Debian and towards FSDG certified distros", while this also is a valid reason, I fully support Simon's efforts for the reasons Simon stated. If a DD wants to start a "linux-libre kernel team" in Debian, count me in.
