Will linux-latest or linux-lts metapackages ever return?

Think again.

If your system breaks due to a package like linux-latest - who would you blame - I know who.

You would flame against the packager and the distribution which made your workstation stall due to a kernel replacement and you would have to spend several hours - if inexperienced, even days - to get it back online.

I think the idea was good - but it also created a heap of other issues - probably why the idea was abandoned.
