I merged the first 3.14-rt and was waiting for the dust to settle
before doing more updates (the same as more -stable updates I have

-rt is there, and I sent the recipe before yocto 1.6 dropped, and updated
it for 3.14.2:

     linux-yocto/3.14: update to v3.14.2

     Updating to the korg 3.14.2 -stable release.

I'll do the updated -rt content soon, was waiting for the early feedback
on the -rt list to clear.
