# Support for 5.10.x and 5.15.x kernels in Gentoo is being discontinued.
#
# These kernel branches differ so much from the mainline kernel that
# security patches are frequently delayed or never backported upstream
# at all.  The need for proactive downstream backporting creates a lot
# of maintenance effort for us, and we neither feel confident with
# correctness, nor with completeness of our backports.
#
# Users can still download kernel sources from upstream repositories
# if necessary.
#
# Bug #976694.  Removal on 2026-07-03.
