[manjaro-dev] [dirtyCOW] please update kernels ASAP

[Bernhard Landauer]

There's a little misunderstanding.
We are supporting two rt-series. rt-lts which uses the latest LTS, so 
currently linux44 as basekernel.
The other series uses the latest available rt-patched kernel and it used 
to be linux46 until very recently. Right now we were in the process of 
shifting the rt(-non-lts) from linux46 to linux48.
