There are no patches for Spectre/Meltdown in the 3.18.y kernel tree that
I know of.

Keep people wondering.

As I have stated before, I'm keeping it alive as there are still a few
tens of millions of devices out there using this kernel, including one

and then will stop releasing updates, and reserve the right to do so at
any point in time :)
