I think it's working extremely well. When it comes to security fixes, I want them as soon as possible. There's no sense batching them. The only thing to be careful of is that -stable fixes (or complete reworks) get merged with mainline, so the trees don't go out of sync. So far this seems to have been OK. -- Cheers, Alistair.
