Upstream effectively support one version, currently 4.4. When upstream made that the default branch, the changes to the 4.1 branch stopped - there wasn't really much overlap. Everything post-4.4 is active development and gets rebased at will. At some point they'll move to the next LTS release (4.9) and 4.4 will be dropped. I'd class all recipes for kernel versions other than default branch upstream as experimental. Perhaps we should just go with AUTOREV here? Anything else is going to need changing really often.
