We know. Our qualifying process is not the most light weight and the kernel moves fast. Normally we take a snapshot and qualify it, trying to take upstream patches when we can and then also publishing bugs we find. The problem is that with ext4 still undergoing active dev we want to be able to keep our ext4 portion of the tree as up to date as possible. I admit it's a bit of a balancing act. Hopefully we won't be causing a lot of undue burden on this list. Thanks for this.
