The pre-announce of this decision was posted over half a year ago.
And the final decision was made about three months ago.

Subject: aufs3.9 ... aufs3.14 will be obsolete
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:11:30 +0900
Hello all,
I am going to stop maintaining aufs3.9 ... aufs3.14 versions, and make
aufs3.15 a new base version. It will happen after aufs3.16 or aufs3.17
is released.
If you have any objections, please let me know.

Now linux-3.18 is released (and aufs3.18 too).
At the end of this year, all aufs versions before aufs3.14 will become
obsolete and go to the unsupport-stage.

I've just made git-push and released latest aufs.
Since this release, my development base is aufs3.14. Aufs3.9 .. aufs3.13
are not maintained anymore.

Probably it should go to aufs3.12.31+ branch.
