Linux kernel 3.14 declared end-of-life. Colonel Kitten crys
...most of us are already aware of this, but in case the rare puppiest out there isn't---here's a funny article and quoting the first few lines:
Linux kernel 3.14 declared end-of-life. Colonel Kitten informs platoon
Earplugs out, this could get shouty[[/b]
RODENTS! But enough about the canteen. PAY ATTENTION. THIS IS YOUR COLONEL! I have an important missive about an enemy among us.
As you know, we take our mission to look after the Linux kernel very seriously in this platoon and I am sad to inform you that one of our top kernel agents has been given a burn notice...........................................

3.16 looks good until April 2020, but doesn't seem to get patched as often https://www.kernel.org/releases.html
The suggestion of 3.16.x is for length of suppoort. I notice that the 4-series are all short.
MHO/ Its nice, and expected to try the newest kernels in puppy, as some other basic security and ops get updated. But frankly, there seems to be a lot of older computers that are having difficulty migrating (some as recent as 2013). It appears IMHO that some things have been deprecated in favor of newer. /MHO

If you want to still support older computers, Puppy needs to watch how new a kernel it uses.
The biggest reason to use newer kernel is to get support for newest hardware.
I am not going to look for it, but I have seen statements that the Linux kernel is dropping very older hardware support as the kernel progresses.
Even Puppy stopped supporting K-6 or P2 processors.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
