My concern was: - We put it into .25-stable and .26-stable, because it's a bugfix. That's perfectly fine. - We do _not_ put it into .27 mainline, because it is just a simple bug, but not a regression. Instead we wait for .27-stable. Doesn't make a lot sense to me. :) So I'd like to see it in .27, too, despite the strict regressions-only rule. A general regressions-only rule simply doesn't always make sense, IMO. -- Greetings Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
