Right. I quite realize, that I should wrote "I like to maintain regular longterm kernel releases, what you think?", but well ... my todo queue is bigger and bigger instead of being smaller - I can not take such task now, nor in the near future.
I just wanted to share idea about regular longterm releases. Having also maintainers time in mind. Taking into account that in last time -longterm kernels arise like mushrooms after the rain, I can imagine that soon maintained -longterm versions would be i.e. 32,33,34,35,42,43,44,45. Having 32,35,38,41,44 instead could save maintainers as well as developers time.
Anyway, I didn't want to tell anyone what to do. Apologize that my posts sounded that way.

No, I only speak for myself here not Red Hat at all nor any other RH employee, all I wrote in this thread were my opinions and ideas.
Thanks Stanislaw
