Good point.  I had forgotten (traumatic memory suppression, no doubt)
that there are poor souls who still have to support 2.6.32 kernels.
Only four more years before it goes EOL --- in 2020.  I'm so glad I
don't work in the enterprise space any more.  And I thought things
were bad with cell phones shipping with 3.10 kernels in 2016.  :-)
