I agree, I think that's useful and needed. It's possible to get the fixes committed to an effective branch in bk and pull that back into mainline.

I don't think it'll increase people testing intended-stable versions. thanks, -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
