Thanks for the response.  I'm looking now and I see stretch and wheezy are
addressed, but not jessie.  Odd.  Why would old-stable be a challenge?

I'm concerned because we run a system for students to do programming, and
there
is typically one in the crowd who will try out any script kiddies in the
news.  For
the time being I've blocked access to the system, but faculty expect it
will be available for use in a week or so.  I have the option to install
the stretch kernel and run in a hybrid version for awhile, but I'm not sure
if there will be problems with that workaround.
