Yep. Specially when new 2.5.X-preY or 2.5.X are generated at a rate of 2 or 3 a week. Look at the history of the kernel. This would only create even _more_ pressure to get new patches in, and that is bad.
When a freeze (or slush) is decreed at the very end, it makes sense. Remember that a large part of the success of Linux is due to "Release early, release often". -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
