I think there’s definitely security concerns which is their highest priority. If the kernel isn’t maintained, security issues aren’t getting patched. You might be able to cobble something together, but there’s going to be holes.
I think they’re paranoid and that’s not a judgment. Rightly so if security is your first priority.
I understand the decision. It’s kind of unreasonable to expect a developer to maintain a release without access to reasonably-maintained source to work on.
I don’t think that project is maintained anymore, but at one point in time it used to add patches that were part of the Kernel Self Protection project. I believe those changes are now largely part of the mainline kernel.
I.e. it’s not different anymore.
EDIT: Looks like it’s still maintained.
Does that mean it would not be taken off because you would always go to a time before that could happen?
