Many, many thanks...it's a great idea and seems to go well with Linus's idea of making even releases "hyper-stable".
This is exactly what I was looking for in (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/268836)
Sorry some of you feel like "suckers"...but you're _not_. You're heroes -- doing the hard sh*t that most programmers don't want to be bothered with. I salute you!
