I'm still mulling over the changes to see if its worthwhile switching
the branch from 3.14 to 3.18.

The joys of the current release system of the linux kernel is that we
now have 7 'long term' streams on which to keep up to date with.
Obviously, that's pretty impractical.

3.14 was the stable long term I chose early on - but I'm happy to get
feedback into the proposal to change this to the 3.18 branch by members
of this list. After all, it does affect everyone using my packages.
