My point was "personal interest in the domain" may not be a great way to tell if a given thread has a stability risk - but I suspect that for the vast majority of testers like myself who aren't paid to be kernel hackers, if it isn't something they can trip over on the one or two machines they can easily test on, it isn't code they're going to review.... (Note that it extends past just hardware too - my config has selinux in it, so those threads at least *might* get looked at. cpusets or ocfs2? If I read those threads, it's probably by accident... :) --==_Exmh_1201419454_2859P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFHnDS+cC3lWbTT17ARAiHPAJ9gcqJ3n5lT/DKc0MgaVJ1bjQ06GACgkpSX 5cgnhXIr84Y49NxlHNUeYWY= =0s+n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1201419454_2859P-- -- 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/
