I'm saying that everything should go to the net-2.6 tree right now. When the merge window closes, net-2.6 will be for bug fixes only and I'll hold off on creating net-2.6.26 for about a week so that people concentrate on regression fixes. Yes, things will pile up but I think it's appropriate to hold off on merging features into the 2.6.26 queue for just one week. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
