Stephen,

Kernel 4.19 will reach EOL in December 2024 [1], so we should skip ahead =
to 5.4 (projected EOL December 2025) or 5.10 (projected EOL December =
2026).

For reference, the CIP project provides a SLTS (Super Long-Time Stable) =
kernel based on version 5.10 [2]. Their previous SLTS was based on =
kernel version 4.19.

Based on the above information, it could make sense updating the DPDK =
minimum requirements for DPDK 24.11 to kernel version 5.10.

You usually have a good overview of what is going on in the relevant =
distros. Could you please provide a doc patch like you have done before =
[3].
