The numbers I had was 75% of the images a major cloud provider was using was either a kernel.org stable kernel release, or Debian. The remaining 25% was an "enterprise" kernel including CentOS. Also note that all Android devices are now required to follow the stable kernel releases as well, so add a few more million to that number :) That being said, for a well-maintained subsystem like Input, whose maintainer almost always marks patches for stable releases, having them picked up by the autobot is unusual. Dmitry, if you want your subsytem to be excluded, just let Sasha know, other subsystems have been excluded at the maintainer's request, and that's fine. There are many other subsystems whose maintainers never mark stuff for stable, and that's a much bigger issue that the autobot is working to help solve. I doubt we need to worrya bout Atari keyboards :) thanks, greg k-h
