The good 2.8 is rotten. It has not been patched for a very long time. Fedora 
and RHEL are running off of github snapshots. I usually do a prerelease 
tarball for everyone else to follow along with so that we can all stay in 
sync. Hopefully, you have been using those. 

The pre-release is perfectly good releases. I have been holding off on 
calling it 3.0 because the major feature was container support. This has been 
perpetually almost done for the last 5 years. I apologize for holding the 
release up for something that is always out of reach, yet almost done.

I have one open question on:
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/pull/134

and I think that might wrap things up for 3.0. We cannot wait for the 
container work. It seems like the patch above is missing the use of a 
AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP_ extension and then we are good to go.
