Hi Jan,

thanks for your fast answer.

I found this vague statement ".. *possibly 2036* " under: Linux kernel version history - Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_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 runs 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
