Hi Jan,

thanks for your fast answer.

I found this vague statement ".. *possibly 2036* " under: Linux kernel vers=
ion history - Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_versio=
n_history )

A use case:
End of Service for medical devices can vary from 5 to 10 years.
If the End of Life of a medical device was announced in 2018 or later, it r=
uns out of support (e.g. cyber security patches for linux kernel v4.4)
This then leads to expensive alternative measures.

Again, thanks for clarification,
Michael
