No, this isn't true. People complained that we immediatly abandonded the last stable kernel when a new one came out, so we said we would take patches for a bit on the last series if people wanted to send them. That's all, it's not some confusing thing, and we are very much not going to accept patches for "any" kernel release. So no, I'm not going to accept this. thanks, greg k-h > > > Procedure for submitting patches to the -stable tree: --
