Anything to note about the new kernelll?

Nothing special (and not Critical CVE either that I could see in that LTS branch), but as Johnny built a newer one for AltArch/i686 I decided to also rebase to latest from kernel LTS branch

Trivial question, why is it 4.9.30-203 and not 4.9.30-204, replacing 4.9.13-203?

The important bit is 4.9.30 vs 4.9.13 (the rest is for rpm versioning)

Also how do people claim to have the linux box up for 6 mo or more when kernel updates come out more frequently than that? Not that I mind having to install a new kernel...

It's up to each admin to decide if they want to reboot on newer kernel or not :-)
