Yeah, my main server (which I don't use for dev work) is on an LTS kernel, same with my primary workstation, so I'm also using LTS kernels in prod. Would definitely appreciate it if those deprecation warnings are visible (and maybe even backported?) if added... would certainly help make transitioning from one LTS to the next easier. > > In any case I would prefer some documented webpage with all deprecation > information.

Not sure, that's way beyond me. -- Slade
