Further to what Mark said, indeed there is a mainline kernel in the works but there will also be an updated BSP kernel (4.4) sometime in the future - Its said to be released in sep/oct - but I would't hold my breath
As for benefits of our current kernel (3.10.10x) - its the most feature-complete kernel for the Pinebook as of today.
