  1. release-notes 19.09: removal of non-LTS kernel attrs 

    Even though the release obviously already happened, I think it might
still make sense to add a short note about the attributes not being
supported any longer (and going forward).

Due to the short lifetime of non-LTS kernel releases package attributes like <literal>linux_5_1</literal>,
<literal>linux_5_2</literal> and <literal>linux_5_3</literal> have been removed to discourage dependence
on specific non-LTS kernel versions in stable NixOS releases.

Going forward, versioned attributes like <literal>linux_4_9</literal> will exist for LTS versions only.
Please use <literal>linux_latest</literal> or <literal>linux_testing</literal> if you depend on non-LTS
releases. Keep in mind that <literal>linux_latest</literal> and <literal>linux_testing</literal> will
change versions under the hood during the lifetime of a stable release and might include breaking changes.
