'We don't cause regressions' might be the first rule of kernel development, but it and other aspects of regressions nevertheless are hardly described in the Linux kernel's documentation. These patches change this by creating a document dedicated to the topic. The second patch could easily be folded into the first one, but I kept it separate, as it might be a bit controversial. This also allows the patch description to explain some backgrounds for this part of the text. Additionally, ACKs and Reviewed-by tags can be collected separately this way. v1/RFC: - initial version Thorsten Leemhuis (2): docs: add a document about regression handling docs: regressions.rst: rules of thumb for handling regressions Documentation/admin-guide/index.rst | 1 + Documentation/admin-guide/regressions.rst | 947 ++++++++++++++++++++++ MAINTAINERS | 1 + 3 files changed, 949 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/admin-guide/regressions.rst base-commit: b36064425a18e29a3bad9c007b4dd1223f8aadc5 -- 2.31.1
