Details
When upgrading my system using LTS kernel, I saw an upgrade
to 4.19.x kernel that has no Long Time Support (it is just
the stable one).
Until a new LTS kernel branch will be created, LTS package for kernel should stick to 4.14.x version. (I encounter many crashes on Intel GPU since the 4.19 kernel, in other distributions / desktop environment too). |

Nope, see
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
as for intel gpu isues, report them and you can always downgrade
or not upgrade.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/22/184
where GregKH announces it will be an LTS kernel, plus kernel.org
itself definitively says so.
