At Armbian we support a few more architectures and we take care that using legacy kernels is at least less insecure by applying available fixes where possible. So maybe patches already available for other SoC families have been re-used but testing them out is still a time consuming process and by looking through the commit log aufs compilation broke twice and hat to be fixed (now version at 3.10.100).
But he also reworked our debootstrap process and implemented FEL/NFS booting and just by these two 'tweaks' creating a whole full featured desktop/GUI OS image with the Armbian building system and starting to test it was a matter of 3-4 minutes (where I spent an hour minimum before and writing to SD card took longer than the whole process now avoiding the SD card at all).
@longsleep: Were you able to test higher resolutions than 1080p yesterday? And do you think about adding the two very popular 'DVI resolutions' 1024:768 and 1280x1024 (code existent but no one added them as additional modes so far)?
