People were saying that it wouldn't even get to more than 5 versions, because the bar for backporting was suppose to be very high. Today it's just a fork of the kernel at a given version. No more features, but we will be OK with regressions. I'm struggling to see what the benefit of it is suppose to be? -- Steve
