That's not %100 true. No matter what -rc* really is, people perceive it to be something based upon it's name and whether or not it is an official release. As far as I can see it's %95 perception vs. reality. And IT IS part of the reason the -rc's are not as good as they could be. - 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/
