Say what?

They are trying to get off or have gotten off their kernel fork called "Prodkernel" for some time now.

And ProdKernel generally lags mainstream by only a few years, as can be seen in the things you linked to.

The change being talked here is moving from merge ~2 years to merge all the time. Saying they're stuck on something from 1999 is ridiculous.
