Thanks.

What has been the practice so far on maintaining/dropping support for 
earlier kernels? For instance, could we drop support for v3.14 (and 
maybe v3.19) on jethro? We can of course continue supporting both 
versions on fido.

Thanks for the heads up on Zybo.
We will work on this issue and get linux-xlnx updated
