Linux 2.6.32 isn't really something supported by us.  It's not just a

the commercially supported one like RedHat or SuSE.

OK so my thought was totally wrong. I thought the longterm stable
releases will still get bugfixed by SGI or whoever wrote the stuff.
Sorry for that then. But what is then the idea of a longterm stable?

I have no idea what the idea is, but it's clearly not viable for normal
kernel developers.  Backporting code to age old releases and QAing it is
a major effort, and people generally don't do it unless they are paid
for it.
