I'm using it for a few things, and I don't currently plan to switch to 4.8, but rather to 4.9 when it's more stable (hence the 2 or 3 additional months). As you already know, 4.9 is supposed to be the next LTS (if Greg Kroah-Hartman doesn't change his mind), and I'd like to wait for it while keep using the version I already use. This said, given the recent rebasing on the raspberrypi github, at least for version 4.7, it definitely is a maintenance burden. If that can help, I'm volunteering to maintain the revision for the 4.7 raspberrypi linux kernel, for the next 2 to 3 months. After that, the question that will remain is what revisions do we keep: we currently have 4.1, 4.4, 4.7 and 4.8. We will soon have 4.9. 4.1 and 4.4 are LTS (EOL = 09/2017 & 02/2018), neither 4.7 nor 4.8 will be, and 4.9 is supposed to be. What do you think we should do, scrap 4.1 and 4.7, leaving 4.4, 4.8 and 4.9? Or keep only the LTS ones?
