I see...sorry for not explaining myself: Isn't "testing" just an alias for "unstable"? I understand that an interface can be in a "testing" stage and at the same time not be "unstable" (even if "testing" also means it can change). But shouldn't all the interfaces in "testing" stage be also "unstable" by default? Or they're just different degrees of "unstability"? It's a bit confusing IMO - 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/
