.27 is a "long term" support kernel that I've decided to keep going for a variety of reasons. .28 and .29 are currently no longer maintained.
So .27 is "special" right now, and seems to be working well. I keep revaluating if it's worth keeping going, and so far, it seems like it is, if for nothing else, personal reasons as I have a few servers based on it :)
For .30, we will probably do a few more releases once .31 is out, and then drop it as well.
I'm confused as to what .32 has to do with any of this, that's months away...
thanks,
