we do have QA qualification criteria for releases and LTS is no different for meeting that requirement. so these patches if regressing should be found out before point release. LTS has to be useful for new SOCs and with the least amount of patching, I am yet to hear technical downsides or concerns for this patchset. I have no problem in maintaining them in the downstream distro since they are already in master it really is fine since they will be in the next LTS and we will be fine. I was hoping the experience better for others and have a bit of fewer patches to maintain. > > Thanks, > > Anuj
