That gives you testing coverage that is impossible otherwise. Fair enough; the delay has gotten excessive of late. Would it be satisfactory going forward for the sourceforge site to contain patches to "standard" releases (e.g., 2.4.20), and do updates to the current development kernel and the sourceforge site simultaneously? In other words, sourceforge has a patch containing all bonding updates since 2.4.20 (or whichever version) was released, and each time that patch is updated, the incremental update goes out for inclusion in the development kernel. -J - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
