James wrote back in March "I haven't yet actually tried git head on  
parisc
(and I won't be able to until I actually get my machines back  
[currently being
shipped across the atlantic]) but if there's a problem it will show up  
quickly:
parisc actually uses cpu hotplug to boot its secondary cpus."

Helge resigned due to lack of time.

This is my understanding as to why there is a maintenance gap.

For what I have been doing, I only use stable kernels.  I'm currently
running 3.3.4.
