As proposed some time ago [1], I'll continue the 2.6.16.x series after 2.6.17 will be released. A short FAQ is below. cu Adrian [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/3/55 Q: What will be the rules for patch inclusion in the 2.6.16.x series? A: There will be more relaxed rules similar to the rules in kernel 2.4 after the release of kernel 2.6.0 (e.g. driver updates will be allowed). Q: Why not start with the more relaxed rules before the release of 2.6.17? A: After 2.6.16.y following the usual stable rules, the kernel should be relatively stable and well-tested giving the best possible basis for a long-living series. Q: How long will this 2.6.16 series be maintained? A: That depends on how long people use it and contribute patches. Q: Stable API/ABI for external modules? A: No. - 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/ | ||||||||||||
