To finish up 3.19, I may need to take until the end of the week. I'm
working with the 3.19 kernel meta data to make sure it is clean, before
anything will be (re)made more visible.

We are at 3.19 + libc-headers @ 3.19 under test now (in the -dev
kernel). I'll send out the versioned kernel recipe by mid week
to meet the freeze (it's a long weekend here, and I shouldn't even be
reading the mailing list right now :)

Cheers,
