If there are any more issues with cake in lede, please let us know
either via github or the cake mailing list...

Cake is starting to settle down a bit (in the cobalt branch), and should
compile all the way back to 3.10 now. (I think).

My intent is to attempt upstreaming next week, and try to fix all the
problems revealed that way, then resume the backporting effort.

The only major new feature is "ack filtering", with several bug fixes
and performance enhancements, along with a lot of checkpatch related
grief being fixed.

So I too would advise steering clear of the churn for a bit, but
certainly feel free to play with where we're at.
