Sasha Levin nga kompania Google, i angazhuar me mb\u00ebshtetje t\u00eb deg\u00ebve LTS t\u00eb b\u00ebrtham\u00ebs Linux dhe an\u00ebtar n\u00eb k\u00ebshillin konsultativ t\u00eb organizat\u00ebs Linux Foundation, shpalli krijimin e nj\u00eb dege t\u00eb re t\u00eb b\u00ebrtham\u00ebs Linux \u2014 \u00ablinus-next\u00bb, e cila, si\u00e7 \u00ebsht\u00eb e ngjashme me deg\u00ebn \u00ablinux-next\u00bb, \u00ebsht\u00eb e destinuar p\u00ebr testimin e ndryshimeve q\u00eb propozohet t\u00eb p\u00ebrfshihen n\u00eb b\u00ebrtham\u00ebn e ardhshme, por ndryshon me orientimin drejt ndryshimeve q\u00eb jan\u00eb gatish p\u00ebr t'u pranuar n\u00eb deg\u00ebn kryesore dhe ofrimin e nj\u00eb baze m\u00eb t\u00eb q\u00ebndrueshme dhe t\u00eb p\u00ebrshtatshme p\u00ebr testim. <\/p>\n
