Subject[PATCH] ISDN4Linux: fix maturity label (v4)
Seeing that the discussion about this has ebbed out but the last version
of this patch has disappeared again from the -mm tree, permit me another
attempt to get this fixed:

From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>

According to the definitions recently posted on LKML, the maturity label
for the ISDN4Linux subsystem is wrong. This patch corrects it and also
clarifies the accompanying help text a bit.

Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.
