I'd have an overlap period of a month or so when moving to a new stable release to give people time to move over. But after that I'd agree we should just keep a single stable kernel recipe in meta-raspberrypi, unless there's someone in the community heavily invested in the old version and willing to maintain it and update it. What we don't want is releases like 4.1 hanging around long after they've been broken by changes elsewhere. -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
