Michael, We are working on a long-term upgrade, but it will be some time before that is ready. We will not be changing from the current kernel major version for the 0.7.x release series. That is a long-term stable release. The version we're planning for the next major AstLinux release will be newer and will be one of the long-term stable releases. Now for the bad news. It's very likely we will drop wifi support. It's a feature that a relatively small number of people are using. None of the current developers are using it which makes it difficult to maintain.
