Many people still use 2.95 because it's still the fastest way to get a kernel build done and that's important for many people.
And with 4.0 being a scary regression in the compile time performance area compared to 3.4, this becomes even more important to keep around. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
