FYI, 4.8 has been EOL'd, leaving 4.4-lts, 4.1-lts as options for
arch "default" kernel until 4.10 is released if we assume that
there's a critical fix in the stable patch queue.

My criticism of the stable patch queue is that they mix fixes
with actual feature patches, making it more risky and not
upholding a important fixes only policy.
