They are very different. If you think the wording there is not > precise enough, could you suggest some other wording? Maybe "Developers should not release stable versions of userspace applications which depend on "unstable" interfaces, they're only good for development versions, if you need to use a "unstable" interface for your program you should wait at least until it hits "testing" (or even better, "stable")"; or something like that. - 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/
