    Hi,

    Is there a specific reason why the keywords (apart from hppa) have
    been removed from gentoo-sources-5.15.59?

    I am seeing some issues with systems running this version, but not
    all. And as this is recent, I don't have an older kernel to quickly
    fall back to. Currently working on testing different versions to see
    if it is the kernel.

    If anyone knows why this was done, please let me know. I couldn't
    find anything in b.g.o and my google-fu is failing me on this.

    Judging by the git log[1] and `eshowkw sys-kernel/gentoo-sources`[2], it
    looks like it was part of a cleanup, a lot of old kernels were dropped.
    5.15.59 presumably wasn't dropped because it's the latest stable on
    hppa. I guess the other arches were unkeyworded to keep the list of
    supported kernels somewhat reasonable.

    Kind regards, tastytea
