It cuts both ways. Maybe obscure architectures like alpha have more than their marketshare of interested lkml users...

So instead of either fixing those architectures or marking them deprecated, you blame Stephen for too much testing?
We are in middle of 'stable series', so regressions are not permitted. You'd like to cause some regressions. Fine, but definitely not Stephen's problem. Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
