Sure, no hurries.
Let's say we wait a month or so, 3.7 will be out too. I will then ask
again about 3.5

So do we all agree on the other ones being obsolete?


PS:
I feel a bit awkward for bringing this up and scheduling a "deadline".
Who gave me the right to act like this and drive decision-making? I'm
not even a kernel maintainer!
I just stumbled upon this "issue" while upgrading a bunch of stable
kernels, so I thought I'd ask the list.
Perhaps this should have been better suited as an issue on github.
