I understand your concerns about the ambiguous meaning of an "LTS"
kernel in the context of Guix.

In order to make it more concrete, we could attempt to stay on the same
long-term support kernel series between Guix releases. It might not
always be possible or convenient, but it could make it more meaningful.
If the LTS kernel were to expire before a new Guix release, we would
have to decide what to do. We shouldn't start backporting fixes or
maintaining our own tree, in any case.

Regarding the comment above the new variables, I think that the longterm
support kernels are, by definition, "current". If they are not current,
then they are not supported. If the variables should point to the newest
kernel with longterm support, let's change the comment.

Something to note is that, much of the time, Guix *only* offers
long-term support kernels.

Also, the dates on <https://jxself.org/linux-libre/> appear to have
drifted out of sync with the upstream at
<https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html>.
