  • Mike Pagano <mpagano@gentoo.org> (2026-06-03) 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.
