[LEDE-DEV] kernel version status

[Jaap Buurman]

Dear John Crispin and Felix Fietkau,

Could either of you please consider moving the Ramips target to kernel
4.14 before the fork to 18.04 happens? Without it, the new
flow_offload goodies won't be usable on Ramips, which would be a shame
in my opinion. Or are there good reasons to keep the target on kernel
4.9 for now?

Yours sincerely,

Jaap Buurman
