Our current line-up:

AFS Servers:

* Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64  (Systems are on Debian/stable, akka jessie)


AFS Clients:

* Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (Systems are on Debian/testing, akka stretch.
  Kernel is from Debian-Snapshots since openafs modules currently fail
  to build for kernel.)

* Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (Systems are on Debian/stable, akka jessie)

* Linux 3.2.0-68-generic (Systems are on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS)

* Linux 2.6.18-371.6.1.el5 (System is an ageing Scientific Linux.
  Will be migrated to Debian/stable "soon".)

If you decided to drop support for kernel 2.6 this would be the
signal to turn "soon" into "now" :)  IMHO, we would benefit more from a
fix for kernel 4.5 than from efforts to keep 2.6 going.=20
