and remove RHEL-7.9 Maipo from the list. kernel 3.10 was supported by CentOS 7 build, which was removed in 360927080. AFAIK all distros which use 3.10 kernel (or kernel < 4.4) by SUSE/RHEL/whatever distro are using older LTP (including RHEL-7.9 Maipoi). Thus we should not claim we are build testing 3.10. 4.4 is kept because is still used for old SLES 12-SP3 (4.4 based). This update is safe for upstream stable releases (the oldest stable kernel is 4.19). Update also old docs to prevent users / search engines got confused.
