In this case the LTS kernel process is attempting to generate
consensus downstream on what kernel version to use.. I'm not sure we
should care so much about that for RDMA.

It is best for eveyone that each downstream disto take the latest
rdma-core available when they are starting their release process and
not try and stick to some older and less featured LTS version.
