A Rolling Stable Kernel Model

Explore the evolution of Linux kernel release models in this 32-minute conference talk by Sasha Levin from Google. Delve into the history of kernel development, from early user adoption to current practices. Examine the challenges faced with long-term support (LTS) kernels and the transition to schedule-based releases. Learn about the proposed rolling kernel model, its implications, and address common concerns surrounding this potential shift in kernel development strategy. Gain insights into the future direction of Linux kernel releases and the rationale behind considering a more dynamic approach to kernel maintenance.
