This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 3.18.107 release.
The kernel.org page currently lists 3.18 as EOL. I assume we released an update for Spectre/Meltdown after we declared it end of life, but I was surprised to see that there was going to be a 3.18.107.
There are no patches for Spectre/Meltdown in the 3.18.y kernel tree that I know of.
Should we change how 3.18 is listed on kernel.org? Or should we just keep peeople wondering whether will be updates after 3.18.107? :-)
Keep people wondering.
As I have stated before, I'm keeping it alive as there are still a few tens of millions of devices out there using this kernel, including one of my personal phones. I might get tired of keeping it semi-up-to-date and then will stop releasing updates, and reserve the right to do so at any point in time :)
