From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently, there's no serious discussion about removal from mainline. And LTS won't remove it.
Should it happen, you can still use Kent's kernel tree as before. Whether distributions ship it - who knows.
If there's no mainline or dkms support, I'll move my storage away from it in favor of btrfs that I've successfully used the years before instead of switching to LTS. Just because of future maintainability and migration options.
