Granted, I haven't yet seen an explicit "Kernel 4.14 will be supported
for six years", but pulling some quotes from the articles:

"Greg Kroah-Hartman has given me permission to announce this here: He
will extend LTS to six years, starting with kernel 4.4."
"LTS is LTS. Greg Kroah-Hartman, the LTS maintainer, is committing to
do [a six-year LTS]. Not because of Google or Android or Treble, but
because everything is on LTS; it's not on upstream."
