Well. We'll see. 2.6 is becoming stabler, despite the fact that we're adding features.
I wouldn't be averse to releasing a 2.6.20.1 which is purely stability fixes against 2.6.20 if there is demand for it. Anyone who really cares about stability of kernel.org kernels won't be deploying 2.6.20 within a few weeks of its release anyway, so by the time they doodle over to kernel.org they'll find 2.6.20.2 or whatever. - 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/
