Subject: [PATCH] ISDN4Linux: fix maturity label (v4)
Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 18:32:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <465B0438.60203@imap.cc> (raw)

Seeing that the discussion about this has ebbed out but the last version
of this patch has disappeared again from the -mm tree, permit me another
attempt to get this fixed:

From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>

According to the definitions recently posted on LKML, the maturity label
for the ISDN4Linux subsystem is wrong. This patch corrects it and also
clarifies the accompanying help text a bit.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.
