And then some people wanted Linux Mint and Neon and Elementary and a whole lot more. Ubuntu plus six flavours times two releases was fourteen ISOs with each one taking two to three hours to upload (upload speed in Australia isn't) meant a worst case scenario of 42 hours of weekly uploads. And given that weekly RCs come out that workload was excessive. But the overhead to continually spin and upload all the Ubuntu flavours in the latest and LTS releases was huge. However for an ISO to work on an ICS it needs a later mainline kernel than the one supplied by the official ISO plus some userspace files. Now that the current mainline kernel has included most of the functionality I provided through my customized kernels the interim need for my customized kernels has been removed. Then because customized kernels were not officially supported I had to rebuild and reissue the kernels when new official kernels were released. When I first built the Intel Compute Stick (ICS) ISOs I took mainline source and patched it to create a customized kernel.
