Thanks for letting us know, but given that I have stated numerous times
that I can not maintain 3 longterm stable kernels at the same time, and
if you look at the published supported schedule at:
	https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
it's going to be impossible for me to choose 3.13 as a longterm kernel,
sorry.

But best of luck with your LTS kernel, and if you find patches that are
applicable for 3.10, please feel free to send them to
stable@...r.kernel.org so that we can pick them up for that release as
well.

thanks,

greg k-h
