It looks like stable 4.4.X maintainence ends real soon now: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html . I talked to Greg and it seems like plan is to end it at the beggining of month, rather than end. That means we'll be on our own maintaining -cip and -cip-rt versions. To review our 4.4 branch: git log --pretty=3Doneline linux-4.4.y-cip-rebase We have 757 patches on top of 4.4.216, and there are some 14000 patches between 4.4 and 4.4.216. Going forward, most new patches will come from upstream. We do some compile testing, but we only run run-time tests on two targets: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/-/pipelines/448669210 =2E Given that most of work we'll be doing will be maintaining -stable patches, anyway, I believe it would make sense to step up as official maintainers of 4.4.X-stable and 4.4.X-rt series. We'll need to do the work, anyway, keeping -stable and -cip split will not result in much overhead for us, and this way we'll get a lot of visibility for the project, and hopefully a lot of additional testing. Any thoughts?
