On the one hand, you seem to want users with any kind of production systems to use distro kernels. On the other hand, developers want a broad testing base, with vanilla kernels (or better, rc) as early as possible. You cannot get both at the same time, some kinds of bugs just appear on production systems. Users expect vanilla .0 releases usable as production systems, to be updated (meaning, no new features, just stabilizing) with the corresponding -stable series. Just my 2p, Jochen. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
