Description Raymond Jennings 2012-08-12 18:48:35 UTC
According to http://kernel.org/, kernel version 3.3.8 is EOL

However, this version also happens to be the one referenced by the most recently stabilized ebuild, at least when I updated my system yesterday.

EOL does not mean "broken unstable kernel" What exactly are you asking in this bug because it is not clear to me
Comment 3 Raymond Jennings 2012-08-12 19:09:01 UTC
I guess I thought the stabilization process was lagging a bit.

So I suppose I'm asking for stabilization to pick up the pace a bit.

Sorry if I'm out of line, I just figured on a crazy hunch that it was a Bad Thing (tm) in general for the latest stable version of a package to be marked EOL by its upstream.

feel free to open a stabilization  bug if I don't get to it soon.
