Ah, but that's the main issue here.

It's a matter of people stepping up and doing things, not setting rules
for what others are to maintain, right?

Back to one of your points, is Red Hat somehow not aware of the current
stable/longterm situation and wishes to have things change here?  Last
time I discussed this with the kernel maintainers there, they were fine
with how things are working, has this now changed?

thanks,
