Fresh, and fixed

in this fork since v2.7.0

Upstream's last release was February 2025, on a kernel that is not a longterm release and a Buildroot that is end of life. This fork tracks both and has taken out six named faults.

The argument

A longterm kernel matters here because the board is a management computer: it is the thing you reach for when the cluster is broken, so it is the thing that must not need attention itself. The six faults are named on the comparison page with the release that fixed each, including the mDNS responder that killed this board twice in one day.
