Agreed.
I do plan to be uploading stable updates for 2.6.35.x that include the changes that got pulled for 2.6.35-rc1, and I'll update 2.6.34 and 2.6.32, as well, with 2.6.34 including the updates that somehow didn't all make it to stable last time. (I'm thinking about also including an ftp upload since for some reason some mail server between me at stable@kernel.org seems to be dropping mail messages when they get blasted out using git send-email. :-/ )
I'm at Linuxcon this week though, so I probably won't get to it until sometime next week.
