I don't think we disagree that the process is broken: this is one of the
reasons we went away from trying to support 6 year LTS kernels.

However, we are not pushing back on ideas, we are asking for a hand in
improving the process: we've been getting drive-by comments quite often,
but when it comes to be doing the actual work people are quite reluctant
to help.

If you want to sit down and scope out initial set of work around tooling
to help here I'm more than happy to do that: I'm planning to be both in
OSS and LPC if you want to do it in person, along with anyone else
interested in helping out.


Sasha,

Will you be able to attend a session on AUTOSEL on the overlap day
of LSFMM and OSS (May 10) or earlier?

We were going to discuss the topic of filesystems and stable trees [1] anyway
and I believe the discussion can be even more productive with you around.

I realize that the scope of AUTOSEL is wider than backporting filesystem fixes,
but somehow, most of the developers on this thread are fs developers.

BTW, the story of filesystem testing in stable trees has also been improving
since your last appearance in LSFMM.

Happy to stop by and collaborate!

I'll also be in Vancouver the whole week (though not in LSF/MM), so if
you'd want to find time for a workshop around this topic with interested
parties we can look into that too.

Thanks,
Sasha
