Why don't you split the list, such as having one each for the development and stable series? (REG, by "hacksaw") It's true that the lkml is a high traffic list and can be a lot to handle. However, splitting the list wouldn't help, since most developers would just subscribe to both lists. In fact, there would then be extra traffic, because of the number of issues that hit both the development and stable kernels, or even farther back! - 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/ | ||||||||||||
