It was done when the staging stuff was added to linux-next - otherwise my builds (and many others) would fail most of the time (it may be better now, but at the beginning, there was a lot of mess in staging).
The reasoning is that build failures in staging should in no way hold up the rest of our development. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
