Hello.
Other have already answered with more details and insight, so I'll just 
give my 2c.

Waiting for (practically) 2028 is way too long.

So OK if 15 has some ABI instability; OK if 15 is delayed in order to 
make it stable.

Just to give contest, I'm eagerly awating 14.3 release in order to start 
investigating my WiFi again; right now I've cherry-picked too many 
patches and would need to stop and think about what I did... :).

Thanks for all your work.

  bye
	av.
