++ 4.1 is a longterm series, so if your goal is minimum disruption you can stay on it until Sep 2017. I would still recommend taking the 4.1.x updates both for backports and possible security updates. I personally just have my own git tree. It is easy to just update it in place vs unpacking huge tarballs every time there is a patch release, and I'm less-tied to the Gentoo maintainers. They do a great job, but since I run btrfs I tend to be really picky about what kernel series I'm on. The one thing I'd love to see upstreamed is the openrc/systemd/etc convenience configuration items. -- Rich
