There are a few reasons for this: =E2=80=A2 Backports, including security fixes, to older kernels are best-ef= fort, and sometimes end up getting missed. =E2=80=A2 By working with newer kernels we catch regressions faster. The l= onger it takes for a regression to be found, the more difficult it can be to get it fixed (e.g. because there's a higher chance somebody has started depending on the new behaviour). =E2=80=A2 New features from new kernels! Naturally, some specialized deployments might still prefer to pin a kernel version, and Spectrum should facilitate this as long as it doesn't cause undue maintenance overhead. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRV/neXydHjZma5XLJbRZGEIw/wogUCakZqsQAKCRBbRZGEIw/w oqnfAP9wl0slPBCNfk8uYILc446Tv6KAdhWplFfmPZW2xnNjagEAmMA2Y3hI+VWJ 6ILsm9SvWP5ZZGdbtgc5V/Ws5ge9xQ0= =DsWt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
