.27 is a "long term" support kernel that I've decided to keep going for
a variety of reasons. .28 and .29 are currently no longer maintained.

So .27 is "special" right now, and seems to be working well. I keep
revaluating if it's worth keeping going, and so far, it seems like it
is, if for nothing else, personal reasons as I have a few servers based
on it :)

For .30, we will probably do a few more releases once .31 is out, and
then drop it as well.

I'm confused as to what .32 has to do with any of this, that's months
away...
