Yeah. People keep asking about that. Unfortunately, this was not discussed or settled on - so I can't really comment on that as an industry representative. However, I will say that we'd like to work to synchronize our next flag version with the next enterprise stable release. (But again, it will depend on timing). Personally (not speaking on behalf of anyone else here), I think there would be a certain poetry to selecting 2.6.42 (which may just also be the same as or one before kernel version 3.1) ;-) -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment =============================
