A hint would be nice Message-ID: <20190611163142.1f7c8146@taeyeon.everdot.org> X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.17.3 (GTK+ 2.24.32; x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org All the recently released kernels have had a "All users of the _branch_ kernel series must upgrade." notice. It would be informative to have some indication as to why users "must" upgrade. The logs are long and do not really say if there is some urgent reason to upgrade. Also, as I point out in my latest article about them kernels at https://linuxreviews.org/Mihan - it is fair to wonder if Greg just put that warning in a template and forgot about it since it appears to be attached to every single kernel-release. A warning like that gets less urgent each time it appears.
