Subject: [cip-dev] Next CIP kernel: CIP - Debian alignment

Hi Ben,

one of the recurrent questions at ELCE, that also was done at the TSC 
meeting is when will we pick the following kernel. The following 
variables apply to this decision:

* Some time ago, you made clear that, in order to keep the maintenance 
effort affordable, we should not pick kernels in tight cadence. TSC 
agreed to assume that advice.

* Since we have agreed to base CIP-Core in Debian sources and during 
ELCE 2017 we picked Debian as the default distro for CIP, it seems a 
natural choice to pick LTS kernels that are also selected by Debian as 
preferred choice.

Based on your understanding about the Debian project:

- When do you expect the next Debian kernel to be selected?
- Based on that answer, which ones are the best candidates?
- Do you expect LTS and Debian selection to be aligned?
- If not, if this something you would like to see happening?
- If yes, how can CIP help to make it happen?

Best Regards
