From a rel-eng standpoint, this looks like a poor idea. Particularly, as Dave points out, there are lots of changes all over the place and you said there are even more not merged yet. I'm pretty sure rel-eng is not going to be happy with this at all, and I suggest punting it to F-13. RHEL is outside of the scope of the Fedora kernel. josh _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
