I doubt that, both 3.2 and 3.16 are maintained by Ben Hutchings and are not used by any major distro except Debian AFAIK. > Or perhaps the latter port hit problems, who knows. Definitely, both Ben and testers/reviewers hit showstopper bugs including failure to boot at all. See the thread on the stable@vger list at https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/index.html#209049.
