Obviously I'll be maintaining the LTS release in master, but that maintenance gets a mix of bug fixes and features associated with the upstream maintenance + LTSI + BSP requirements. I've sent patches for the sustained branches in the past, and can do it here as well. But to do it properly, there really needs to be a dedicated kernel repository, since things like the LTSI import and new BSP support will be mixed into the tree if a single 3.10 repo is used. I'm willing to split the repo and do -stable korg release updates, but at some point there are only so many repositories and versions that should be maintained at one time. As to what that number is, I don't have a firm one in mind. At a minimum, it would be safe for the dora maintenance branch to take my latest kernel -stable imports, but in the not to distant future, it would need a separate maintenance stream. Cheers, Bruce >
