That's a very broken certification system, if it allows you to attach pretty much random patches onto a "blessed" 3.14 kernel, but won't let you upgrade to a newer kernel Thought Experiment: What happens if you take a standard 3.14 kernel, and apply *every single* patch from 3.15 from Linus's tree except the one that actually tags it as 3.15? (And yes, I've had systems running stuff certified for RHEL 6.1, but the system was actually updated all the way to 6.7 except for the RPM that has /etc/redhat-release ....)
