The new policy is to support kernels with genpatches for 3 years after their release. Specifically, 4.14/4.19/5.4 have been dropped. See https://www.mpagano.com/blog/?p=315 and http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2018/08/24/what-stable-kernel-should-i-use/. sys-kernel/vanilla-sources will continue to be provided for all branches until they reach formal upstream EOL.
