Hypocratic oath: "First, do no harm." If a new kernel version can't make things *better*, at least it shouldn't make them *worse*. New features are good, performance improvements are good, breaking working systems with an update is not good. I'm with Adrian on this, if you want people to test and report with -rc kernels, then there should be some urgency to addressing the reported problems. -- -bill davidsen (davidsen@tmr.com) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me - 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/
