James wrote back in March "I haven't yet actually tried git head on parisc (and I won't be able to until I actually get my machines back [currently being shipped across the atlantic]) but if there's a problem it will show up quickly: parisc actually uses cpu hotplug to boot its secondary cpus." Helge resigned due to lack of time. This is my understanding as to why there is a maintenance gap. For what I have been doing, I only use stable kernels. I'm currently running 3.3.4.
