Hi Ben,
I see that kernelci still reports many build problems with the 3.16-stable tree.
Are you interested in these at all? I think I went through them once or twice
after a release and found the patches that we could backport to address
the issues (like we did for 3.18 and later kernels).
I can do it once more if you like, or let me know if you plan to only have
the minimum set of patches backported and prefer ignore the old bugs.
If so, should we blacklist the 3.16 from regular testing, or are you still
interested in the boot reports?
