We can't really use this as an argument for >inclusion of code into -stable, as that'd mean that -stable and Linus' So I think that Linus's claim that users come first applies here as well. If there's a user that cares about a particular feature being broken, then we go ahead and fix his bug rather then ignoring him. >tree would have to be basically the same. Basically the same minus all new features/subsystems/arch/etc. But yes, ideally we'd want all bugfixes that go in mainline. Who not? Instead of keeping bug fixes out, we need to work on improving our testing story. Instead of ignoring that "person that'd rate it critical" we should add his usecase into our testing matrix.=
