1 Hi,
2
3 As those interested in kernel development know, 2.6.16 is a stable branch
4 maintained continuously by Adrian Bunk. It's feature-frozen since 2005, but
5 still patched against all applicable advisories. Therefore it's probably much
6 more secure than current versions.

8 Wouldn't it be nice (and easy) to have sys-kernel/hardened-sources made of
9 2.6.16.60?
10
11 If there's no big interest in it, I'll still prepare a version for me. A piece
12 of my hardware got struck down by a regression in newer kernels, that's not
13 likely to go away.

15 Kind regards,
