https://www.kernel.org/ the linux kernel team recently revived the 3.16.x kernel line under LTS can we get the ebuild back and bumped to 3.16.36?
Lack of capacity. 2008 - 4 committed people and 2 supported kernel versions. 2016 - 1 person and 8 supported kernel versions. I just don't have the capcity.
Hi Mike, thanks for looking at this, how much committed time from someone would you like to see? I know kernel is not something you'd lets just about anybody do...
