It could potentially become one of the best things to happen to the mainline release process (and I believe has already been worthwhile). Even if it takes a while for people to get on board, or some regressions slip through. And note, a release with regressions doesn't make your hard work useless -- you've still got the important who, when, how, etc. info that can be used in future, and it could serve as a "known issues for upgraders" document as well. -- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. - 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/ | ||||||||||
