Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 3.16+62 Severity: wishlist Tags: security
Hi, As I know currently freeze for Jessie happend on 5th November, 2014 and earlier communications suggests that kernel 3.16 has been chosen as a base for Jessie. As of 30th October 2014, 3.16.7 is the latest and last version for kernel 3.16 as it reached EOL. Currently keeping the 3.16 kernel for Jessie, which is due next year and will be supported for years to come afterwards, choosing a EOL kernel is both an extra headache for backporting security vulnerabilities fixes and featureset addition. I suggest we can use 3.18 kernel which will hopefully be a future LTS release or the next LTS kernel for Jessie.
