Rodriguez @ 2009-09-08 19:30 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Greg KH, Chris Wright; +Cc: stable-review, linux-kernel I was curious if 2.6.27 is planned to be supported after 2.6.32 is released, or will that be dropped in favor for 2.6.28 as the last supported kernel.

So .27 is "special" right now, and seems to be working well. I keep revaluating if it's worth keeping going, and so far, it seems like it is, if for nothing else, personal reasons as I have a few servers based on it :) For .30, we will probably do a few more releases once .31 is out, and then drop it as well. I'm confused as to what .32 has to do with any of this, that's months away... thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Oh good to know, for some reason I expected we'd support 27..HEAD. > So .27 is "special" right now, and seems to be working well.

I meant 31. Thanks for the explanation. Luis ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
