Before -mm hits 1000 patches, I hope.
2.6.8 wasn't really super-stable and our main tool for getting the quality is to stretch the release times, give us time to shake things out. The release time is largely driven by perceptions of current stability, bug report rates, etc.
A current guess would be -rc4 later this week, 2.6.9 late next week. We'll see.
One way of advancing that is to get down and work on bugs in current -linus tree, yes?
If this still doesn't seem to be working out and if 2.6.9 isn't as good as we'd like I'll consider shutting down -mm completely once we hit -rc2 so people have nothing else to do apart from fix bugs in, and test -linus. We'll see. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
