I would suggest you to maintain only AUFS for the most recent kernel

is any user who needs AUFS for older kernel then he will have to
explain why does he need it, and furthermore he will be politely asked
to donate first, to get custom AUFS modifications for his kernel,
since he will most likely be a business company which wants AUFS in
order to MAKE SOME BUSINESS. Sane business customer may
be willing to spend $1000 or more to get AUFS for his insanely old kernel :)

Well, as said with my first post - having at least the most current longtime kernel supported with bugfixes is a must. I do business with the stuff, but I am doing it on a scale of some hundred USD a month by running a small ISP. A minor update costs me about half a day of work, a major kernel upgrade requires updating the whole system (udev, init-tools, etc) and requires about a week till all is build, tested and rolled - so if I need to do a major update every year, just because a bug is not fixed in my kernel, I am forced to remove aufs from my systems.
