Well, so it seems we assumed two things: 1) AA quick release, according to the plan 2) BB release quick enough to replace AA before 3.3 gets EOL I'm afraid both assumptions were wrong and shouldn't happen. Privately I wonder if it's good idea to release AA at all, if it's going to be using old 3.3 kernel with possible security bugs. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
