The reasons are the ones explained above. Basically: Ok, so just so we're all on the same page - we're telling all the developers not willing to run a bleeding edge rc kernel to screw off? Got an Nvidia video card? Go away! The wireless broken in this week's -rc candidate? Go away! Your distro doesn't yet support the bleeding edge kernel? Go away! Want to have a stable base on which to work so you can focus on v4l-dvb development? Go away! I can tell you quite definitely that you're going to lose some developers with this approach. You better be damn sure that the lives you're making easier are going to significantly outweigh the developers willing to contribute who you are casting aside. Devin -- Devin J.
