The alternative is to try to include a patch which has seen limited testing and insufficient review into code which is shipping in a matter of days. Yes, leaving your machine broken isn't ideal, but the risk of breaking many (many) other machines which currently work OK is not good either. We'll get the patch tested, reviewed and merged shortly, at which point it will be included in a stable .39.x release, which Linux distributions are generally happy to pick up. =2D-=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFN0fcSQp8BWwlsTdMRAqNzAKDgcO1sbmd0x8R3BF9CifZwNTgPLgCgront OHywd+KSSw/9blrL9I7CYiw= =nW7M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- -- 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/
