Yocto Project Long Term Support (LTS)
summary
Yocto Project introduces a formal Long Term Support plan with YP 3.1 as the first LTS in April 2020, then an LTS every two years maintained for two years and funded by membership with a half‑time official maintainer. The project modernizes CI with about 25 autobuilder servers validating more than a dozen host distributions and runs roughly 2 million tests in 8 hours across architectures. LTS covers core components (Poky, BitBake, meta, docs), uses virtualized testing only, and excludes vendor layers.
