We no longer support linux 2.4... How would this be an issue?
sorry i wasn't clear -- i meant when the time comes that dual support
would be desirable, eg. linux 4.7 or whatever :-)
kernel26-lts / linux-lts
(side note -- are we renaming that package now or later?)
That's our current dual kernel.
It's not difficult to add back version numbers if they become really
necessary - it happens here and there (e.g. python - which was obviously
much more complicated because it relates to hundreds of packages rather
than one or two). There might be some AUR packages with specific kernel
versions - having the main package be 'linux' doesn't hurt that either.
