Just want to add to this request. Have been using the 3.8 branch on my system since it was available. never encountered any issues mind you i'm only 1 user and don't go looking for issues but i second this request. The current stable kernel in the tree is kinda old and is EOL. I use the stable branch on my wifes system to avoid any breackage. Bug #469854 is regarding a privilege escalation that allows local unprivileged users to increase their privileges, I've looked this up [1] and this has been fixed in 3.8.9. So, if we stabilize 3.8.13 then we can then throw the affected 3.7.10-r1 out of the tree. Therefore I'm blocking the security bug.

Stable for HPPA. ppc stable Current stable sys-cluster/drbd-8.3.13 does not work with kernel-3.8 Please, stabilize newer sys-cluster/drbd - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463144 They can see the other bug, just await further stabilization; it's queued. arm stable Is there anything holding up stabilization on the other architectures? Increased importance, especially since we block other bugs; please stabilize. alpha/s390/sh/sparc, having some issues with >=3.8 on ia64, need to investigate it Anything in specific holding up ppc64?
