1 Hello,
2
3 We recently dropped the stable keywords for 4.14,
4 but 4.12 (the next stable in gentoo-sources) is no more
5 maintained from upstream.
6
7 The last update that 4.12 got from upstream was 2017-09-20,
8 and upstream is no more backporting security fixes since then.
9 Because of this, we will proceed to mask 4.12.
10
11 Keep in mind: If 4.14 works for you, you can keyword it and
12 continue to use it, if you need a more stable kernel, please
13 move to 4.9.
