Not really. > 2.6.29 is still much too young, as one can see from the size of 2.6.29.2, That is mostly because people are learning to submit more patches to the -stable queue, not because of any implicit problems with the 2.6.29 kernel series that I have seen. > and the fact that the queue for 2.6.29 isn't even empty yet and there are > already more patches waiting to get queued... Yes there are, I will work on that next. But I don't see anything "serious" in there that should be in the .28 kernel, do you? Traditionally we've dropped the last -stable after the .2 release of the new series, why would we change that now? We only have so much time to do this kind of work, and maintaining 3 -stable trees is a major pain, trust me... However, if you wish to take over 2.6.28 and maintain it after this release, I have no objection, just let me know. thanks, greg k-h
