I truly do not understand why this is even a debate. The simple fact is
that either 20.04 is or is not an LTS release. If you are telling people
that you are going to support it for 5 years, then that means being able
to provide security updates to them as well as allowing them to use
hardware that was created during the 5 years following April 2020 within
reason. To do that, people must be able to update the kernel plain and
simple.

You cannot simply tell people that they have to use
experimental/unstable operating system for the next 2 years and/or live
with unpatched zero-day security holes in their kernel.

And if you want a kernel version that is built on the latest toolchain
that is also perfectly fine, but put those separately like how the
armhf, ppc64el, etc versions are done. Have another build for the latest
toolchain if that is needed for future work to take place but I can see
that as being a problem longer term. So really make a proper ppa that
has the separation of folders by distributions like how every single
other ppa is setup.

This is a pretty serious epic failure on Ubuntu's end that is affecting
a lot of distributions and users and will start pushing people away as
the core fundementals of a kernel do not even work safely.

Also, huge huge huge thanks to tuxinvader for providing a PPA prevent us
from having to look for alternative solutions.
