With Please don't. Even the two weeks are too short IMHO, because it is hard to digest so much code in such a short time and also it is not always easy for maintainers to hit such short time windows for sending patches. > I don't think anybody has been really unhappy with this approach? Hmm? The long freeze periods were nothing much happens are painful. It would be better to have some more overlap of merging and stabilizing (stable does that already kind of, but not enough) -Andi - 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/
