It depends on what you consider failure and what you consider success. For me, it failed. Not because it wasn't perfect, but because we could have done much better with fixing the known regressions, and also by not introducing several regressions between the last -rc and the final kernel (and people who did test -rc7 and would most likely also have tested an -rc8 ran into them). > tglx cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
