Think about who will do the stabilisation. Do you really think Alan or Marcelo will pick up 2.6 when it comes out? Or do you see someone else picking up 2.6? One of the fundamental questions that needs to be asked along side the "fork 2.7 with 2.6" problem is _who_ exactly is going to look after 2.6. Dave Jones? If Dave, who's going to do Daves job of making sure fixes get propagated between stable and development trees? -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html - 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/
