Fine, no mods, I'm talking about bit different thing - if 
the last working compilation was 4.4.78-1 then keep in the 
repo. At this moment I do not see any of the two in the repo 
for kernel-lt version.
If I was to make a guess - better with kernel-lt to have 
perf-4.4.something than 4.12.something or 3.10.something, no?
