There are some patches queued up for 3.12 in that area, if they are needed earlier, that would be great for me, as a subsystem maintainer, to know. > I'm aware I'm reporting issues that you either already knew about or > were already fixed.

The openSUSE Tumbleweed disto also pushes out these stable kernels. But there's only an "estimated" 8-10 thousand users of that openSUSE "flavor", while smaller than what Fedora has, it's better than nothing. > In the future, if we can get the information from the end user in > time, I'll be happy to forward issues that aren't already reported > onwards.

I would love that report, one of the things I keep asking for is for people to send the patches that distros have that are not in stable to me, as those obviously are things that are needed for a valid reason that everyone should be able to benifit from. > I'll likely be doing that within Fedora already and I'm happy to send > it to stable@, even if those patches aren't exactly stable-rules > matching. If they aren't "allowed" by the current rules, I'd be interested to know why, unless it's the "add a new feature" type thing, which makes sense why I couldn't take them. > We did that when kernel.org went down and it helped then, just not > sure how much it would help now or if people care.
