It was picked for long term support. I think that is why it was the one chosen. http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2013/08/04/longterm-kernel-3-dot-10/
If you look at https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html you will see that 3.2.x is LTS with EOL 2016, whereas 3.10.x is EOL Sept, 2015. (Obviously 3.0.x is EOL Oct 2013, next month, so some change is necessary.) When we moved from 2.6.32 lts to 3.0 lts, it was because gcc header files needed a minimum kernel above 2.6.34. I was wondering whether there was a similar technical reason for the 3.10.x choice over 3.2.x, or whether I can just as easily run a 3.2.x kernel on an otherwise Plain Jane and current Arch Linux build? --brian
