For those of you who don't follow linux-kernel below Marcelo's posting about the future of 2.4. I think we should follow that for MIPS also, so whatever new feature you still may have pending for 2.4, send it soon - or for 2.6. I also remind everybody that a 2.6.0 release is expect already before the end of the year and the MIPS kernel is not exactly in the shape we'd like it to be - time to switch to 2.6 for active development!

Having that mentioned, I pretend to: - Fix pending problems which might required more intrusive modifications during 2.4.24. New drivers will be accept during this period (for example, Cyclades PC300 driver, input userlevel driver support, or other sane driver which might come up). - From 2.4.25 on, fix only critical/security problems. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ ----- End forwarded message ----- Ralf
