I think that is a reasonable argument for keeping 'next' open, and it seems to be borne out by this experiment (the post-1.6.2 period seemed no better or worse for bugfixes to me). Now the only problem with keeping next open is that the maintainer misses out on the relative lull in activity during release freeze to catch up on his day job work. But if you can handle that, I'm certainly in no position to complain. :) -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
