Well, I believe we should start testing 6.1.X.

Greg does not (and can not) know how well 6.1.X works, and it is hard
for him to call if it LTS if he's not confident with it, and that's a
place where we can help.

If we wanted to push it a bit more, at some point we may want to write
"hey this seems to work okay for our uses, and we'd like to see it as
LTS" or something like that.

On a related note, 4.9.X was discontinued; I believe we should create
configs for 4.14 and start testing that, to help with 4.4-st
maintainance.

Best regards,
Pavel

Agreed.

configs for 4.14 and start testing that, to help with 4.4-st
maintainance.

Is there a reason not to test the release candidates for all stable kernel versions?
(Currently we only test LTS)

Our CI will be fine with the extra workload.
It would just be a case of someone checking the results and feeding it back to the stable mailing list.

Would we add value this way over existing kernel-ci runs - or don't they
exist?

KernelCI test all stable versions I believe.

We have slightly different build/test coverage then KernelCI, so technically if we build/test as well, overall coverage would be increased.
e.g. we use the CIP kernel configurations, different compiler versions etc.
