Hmm, I didn't thought about considering longterm kernels as milestones,
that's interesting. The next longterm kernel (compared to where we are
now) is 3.10.x, the latest is 4.1.x. It feel it would still be longer
between each of our "releases" compared to one kernel at a time (ie. 3.8
-> 3.9 -> 3.10) but with the same risks as jumping to the latest kernel.

Furthermore, if we take eg. 3.10.94, it would include many patches
already included in later versions. 3.10.94 is probably more stable than
maybe 3.11, but it looks like we may duplicate work.

I didn't post any patch to Phabricator or this mailing-list yet. People
interested can look at the branch in Git for now. That said, I will
probably post a first patch shortly.

Yes, let's start! I will send a separate email.
