Re: aufs3.9 ... aufs3.14 will be obsolete

[sfjro]

sf...@users.sourceforge.net:
 I am going to stop maintaining aufs3.9 ... aufs3.14 versions, and make
 aufs3.15 a new base version. It will happen after aufs3.16 or aufs3.17
 is released.

 If you have any objections, please let me know.

Here is my almost final plan.
- in a few weeks, aufs3.{9,11,13} will end before linux-3.17 (or 3.18)
  is released.
- in a few months, aufs3.{10,10.x,12,12.x} will end because a few users
  want a longer life of aufs3.10.x.
- in other words, when linux-3.18 (or 3.19) is released, the supported
  versions will be aufs3.14 - aufs3.1[89]. Also I am afraid some of them
  will have .x branch.
