That's an alternative, of course.
But that _is_ a branch, and does need active forward- and (mainly) backward-porting work.
There's nothing wrong with it per-se, but it becomes a "stabilised version of the kernel.org tree" or even a "production version of the kernel.org tree". In other words it's somewhere on the line between the mainline kernel.org tree and a distribution. How far along that line should it be positioned? - 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/
