Mark,

My first goal is to port to newer kernels, b/c people always move up to newer 
ones (slowly :-).  Yes, some kernels are EOL and hence don’t get any more 
updates, so indeed there’s just cosmetic changes for those.  Honestly, I may 
have to stop supporting really old kernels that no one maintains/uses these 
days.

After ports, I’m fixing any serious bugs.  I don’t expect any major features 
introduced in the near future.

Cheers,
Erez.
