Towards Sustainable Systems with the Civil Infrastructure Platform
summary
Project creates a super long-term supported base layer for industrial Linux, starting with a kernel-centered plan to provide 10+ year kernel maintenance by backporting features and aligning with LTS/LTSI. It hires Ben Hutchings as a super-long-term kernel maintainer, runs a kernelci private instance for distributed real-hardware testing with hour-scale turnarounds, and ships a minimal bootable userland first, then adds a small set of security-sensitive packages and reproducible build/tooling to support decades-long product lifecycles.
