Hello Chris,
 
Thanks for the clarification. I understand that maintaining a lot of o= ld LTS Linux kernels requires huge resources. At the moment, we don't have = enough expertise to be a kernel maintainer.
Just wondering, maybe you need help with Python, Go, or CI/CD in the C= IP project?

We are checking if it's possible to use one of the Simcom communicatio= n modules, but only Linux 4.9 is supported for now. From a security point o= f view, it's not good to use or rely on components that are not maintained.=
