Really stable? It improves performance, which is nice. But every patch which goes into the kernel fixes a bug, improves clarity, improves performance or adds a feature. I've now seen all four cases get CC'd into stable.
Including some of mine explicitly not marked stable which get swept up by enthusiastic stable maintainers :(
Is now there *any* patch short of a major rewrite which shouldn't get cc: stable?
Cheers, Rusty.
