Hi, The biggest question is indeed what version the SIG's need. Are they ok with the latest longterm release (currently 3.14) or do they want the latest stable (currently 3.18) (https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html)? Ideally we can get everyone agree on one specific kernel. The elrepo kernel seem like a nice starting point to do this. So it would be nice if we can work together on this. So SIG's, what kernel do you need? My vote would be on at last 3.14 or higher. I would like to tryout Ceph in the future and this is their requirement. Kind regards, Tim
