I had thought Andrew asked people to do it at one point. Could have been someone else, I suppose. Ah, it was Andrea Arcangeli.
At the time, it seemed more people were doing it. I guess not though. Or there really aren't many people running the latest -mm. It *is* quite a hassle. I only do it because I'm crazy. :)
I think klive is a good idea for tracking kernel testing. Perhaps mentioning it here again will get more people running it.
I suppose that someone could try to estimate usage by counting patch downloads off kernel.org. -- Zan Lynx <zlynx@acm.org> [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
