Is there a document online, beyond this bug, that discusses where the
kernel team's support goals differ from the distribution itself? IMO, a 6
month support schedule for the kernel adversely affects the reputation of
a release with the LTS monicker.

Note that I understand that managing kernel packages for Ubuntu is an
incredibly complex task and this bug isn't doing you any favors, but I
think that if you're going to hedge your bets so to speak on the support
duration, "LTS" should be qualified in some way.
