Honestly speaking, I didn't expect so many opnions posted. :-)
The idea of supporting "longterm" kernel makes sense. After reading
Oliver Welter's mail, I began to think my idea to support 3.6 and later
is stupid because 3.6 and 3.7 are marked as EOL (end of life?)
Asking for donations, which is mentioned by Tomas M, is really important
to me. Acutually in the long history of aufs, Tomas M is the biggest
donator.
Since I am a free software user before developer, I'd keep maintain
multiple versions of aufs as possible in order to be usable for more
people. It is something like a return from me to free software world.

Finally which kernel version aufs will maintain? I say,
- aufs3.x-rcN   latest
- aufs3.8       last stable
- aufs3.7       still stable
- aufs3.6       still stable
- aufs3.4       last longterm
- aufs3.2       longterm and debian's choice
For a while, I will keep maintaining these 6 versions. Note that 3.2,
3.6 and 3.7 may be subject to be stopped soon. I don't know when it will
be.

Last but not least, I'd ask aufs users for donations. If you are using
aufs and think it is useful, and wanting to keep it maintained then
please make a donation via
<http://sourceforge.net/p/aufs/donate/?source=navbar>
or PayPal to sfjro at sf...@users.sourceforge.net directly.


Thank you
