Every single patch which has gone into the tree for the past two weeks is a bugfix, I think. The most recent non-fix I see is ChangeSet 1.2044, 2005/02/22 20:44:37-05:00, romieu@fr.zoreil.com [PATCH] r8169: removal of unused #define Removal of unused #define Signed-off-by: Jon Mason Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik So pphhhfftt ;) And the most recent non-trivial not-completely-a-bugfix patch I see is "USB: Add ioctls to ub", from Feb 17. And even that's an outlier. - 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/
