The older stable version is usually maintained for a while after the next major release comes out. How long that is can vary. I would personally like to see 2.6.20 continue for a while, at least until 2.6.21.x is judged stable enough (that could be a long time.) - 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/
