Thanks for reminding about that. I am not that keen of early rc's because there is a higher risk to catch instability in unexpected places. Normally I wait for rc2 or newer kernel is released in order to rebase onto that mainline kernel. I am using the Linus' master because most of time I get to develop and submit patchsets for several subsystems concurrently (currently it's PCIe, EDAC, net and MIPS-arch) and having them rebased on top of each subsystem' next-branch would be even more risky. Of course I understand that the subsystem main/topic branches may have some conflicting changes. So normally I make sure that the submitted changes are applicable against the subsystem trees if/when it's necessary. (Can't deny though I forget to do that from time to time.) -Serge(y) > > Bjorn
