As everyone has pointed out numerous times in this thread, there are more testing of stable patches and releases than _EVER_ before in the history of stable kernels. And if you feel there are ways to do more testing that we somehow are missing, wonderful, please provide constructive criticism. If not, and you just want to complain, well, my killfile can always use a new member... And as always, you have a choice: - if you don't like stable kernels, don't run them. greg k-h
