Description:

Hi, not sure if this is a right media, but I could not find any documentation to find out what is the LTS kernel release strategy for Arch.

Since 2019-11-24 official www.kernel.org LTS kernel is 5.4 (according to the links in "Additional info" below). However even until now Arch Linux is rocking 4.19.

The reason I am reporting this as a bug is because virtualbox-guest-dkms no longer compiles against 4.19.
