It's probably not a surprise when I'm saying that maintaining all the
-stable branches of 2.6.16..2.6.21 for MIPS is a major effort and
increasingly simply a huge pain in the ...  you know where due to the
differences.  So before I actually deciede when and which of the
branches I'm going to dump I would like to poll who actually uses
these -stable branches.

Thanks,

  Ralf

For Debian, the 2.6.18 tree is useful since our stable kernel is based
on that release.  However, we can only put crucial fixes into a stable
release, so I wouldn't expect much to show up on the 2.6.18 branch.
