Softpedia reports

The Linux kernel 2.6.32.67 LTS maintenance release has been made available [June 4] for all users of the 2.6 kernel series, and it promises to fix two regressions that have been introduced in the previous point release of the branch, Linux kernel 2.6.32.66 LTS.

[...] The 2.6.32 kernel series [...] will reach end of life in a couple of months, which means that [all users of 2.6.x] will have to move to a different LTS (Long Term Supported) kernel branch, such as Linux kernel 3.2 or Linux kernel 3.4.

For the record, Kernel 2.6.0 was released 2003/12/17, and Kernel 2.6.32 was released 2009/12/03.

In other kernel news, Greg Kroah-Hartman tweeted that Kernel 4.1 will be an LTS version.

    How many routers, smart TVs, etc. have this version of the kernel running in them? Based on my experience with the devices I have in my house, a lot of them. Perhaps now we'll get updates to those devices? One can only hope...
