Right, so the Ubuntu kernel team is actually maintaining 3 extended stable kernels: 3.5, 3.8 and 3.11. So, they are not official stable kernels and thus they are not kept on kernel.org. We follow the same process as the stable kernels (defined in Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt), but keep them separately. For more details, you can take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable. > The 3.4 tree will probably port to 3.5 relatively cleanly...

Great, thanks! I'll wait for rc2 and will try to run your test suite on the backports.
