Am I correct to assume this is a holding place for patches which are waiting for inclusion into linux-stable-rc? This is a place where Greg will keep the patches which he accepts for the stable tree. The stable-rc will finally have everything from this folder. And the folder will be emptied when the stable tree is released. And also, everything will be in patch format. -- Regards Sudip
