I think that sounds like a great move in the right direction. As you probably recall, one of my big objections was lack of response when issues were flagged. If one per cycle makes that easier for you to deal with, then I'm all for it. Ideally I'd want AUTOSEL to work _exactly_ like the other patches that were grabbed for that stable release. Sent out the same way, at the same time, and responsive when issues are raised. If you only want to do one AUTOSEL per cycle, then IMHO it should be timed with the regular sending out of patches picked for the next stable release. If we have 2 separate things going on still, then that's annoying for maintainers to deal with. If I was doing this, I'd have AUTOSEL be EXACTLY the same thing as normal stable picks, work the same way, with the only difference being that they would have the AUTOSEL marker in the subject line. -- Jens Axboe
