Canonical's kernel team will pick up stable maintenance where Greg KH left off with v4.2.8 (thanks, Greg!)...

Canonical's Ubuntu kernel team is pleased to announce that we will be providing extended stable support for the Linux 4.2 kernel until August 2016 as a third party effort maintained on our infrastructure.

Our linux-4.2.y{-queue,-review} stable branches will fork from v4.2.8 and will be published here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git

git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git

We will use the same stable request/review workflow and follow the standard upstream stable kernel rules. More details are available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable

We welcome any feedback and contribution to this effort. The first review cycle patch set (for "v4.2.8-ckt1") will be posted in a week or two.
