I don't really understand the second half of your sentence, but they certainly
have a good track record: After all Jessie is based on their ckt 3.16 series
and their 3.19 kernel is also working very well (we're using it at work
on top of jessie since 3.16 has some mm problems under high load). I've been
forwarding patches for merging to Luis and Kamal for quite a while now and
they've always been really responsive and helpful.
Cheers,
