I think it's better to send less fixes to -rc8 or -rc9 and focus more on testing. That way there should be less regressions in later stages of -rc releases and especially in the final x.y.0 release. Most of the time I don't even consider updating to the stable releases, I just wait for the next .0 release from Linus. For this kind of workflow there is a clear advantage of slowing down patch flow before the release, better chances of not needing to update the kernel that often. -- Kalle Valo -- 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
