Just to be precise, the kernel being discontinued is not faux's (this thread's kernel will go on !), it's merely in pause as faux has a lot going on in his real life, good stuff, but taking up most of his time.
About my kernel (in
this thread), I discontinue the TW version, because of mainly 2 reasons :
1) I'm pretty much fed up with Samsung because of the "you need to upgrad the bootloader for Kitkat, which there is
no technical reason for whatsoever, plus you can't downgrade it again or you'll brick your device" (for now only canadian model seems to be downgradable)
2) Since I run CM11 as my daily ROM, and it only boots on the old bootloader, I can't update my bootloader without losing my daily ROM, so I would have to make the TW KitKat kernel blindly (without being able to test it myself), and I've accepted making a kernel blindly for a device I didn't own, once, but never again, not being able to debug your kernel if something's off is pure hell, costs you 100x more time, which I just don't have.
So in essence, I just continue on my CM11 kernel (in
this thread) as I need it for myself, and I thus can properly test it before making it publicly available.
