Hello,
Maybe we should release 2.6.10.1 with those security fixes,
so people maintaining other trees like: -tiny, -ck, -grsec,
release patches over the fixed ones. Users won't miss the
fixes if they prefer some trees instead of vanilla.
What do you think?
Regars,
Maciej

I'd suggest (and I'm a comlete nobody in this regard) that instead Linus
takes the security fixes + whatever he and Andrew deems to be "obviously
correct and with zero risk of causing trouble" from the current -bk and
turns that into 2.6.11-rc1, then let that stew for 2 or 3 days, then
unless someone sees something horribly wrong, release it as 2.6.11 - then
take whatever else is in current -bk and adds it and then that'll be
2.6.11-bk1 and we move on from there.
