Instead it is recommended to use at least kernel 3.16 which is also already
over 3 years old. All older kernels (v3.2 - v3.15) should therefore be
dropped to reduce the support overhead.

The servers already stopped testing these old versions. And it might also be
interesting for everyone that the extra "build/" directory was dropped. We
only needed this directory because we had to patch the sources before each
build. This is currently not necessary anymore.
Unfortunately, we will have to keep compat-sources and some of the really
crude hacks until mid 2020.
Kind regards,
Sven
