What is the metric for going from experimental to non-experimental? I surely hope it doesnt come to some irrational reasoning like "Patrick found a bug"[1]. - It has been around since 2.6.7/8; - I use it extensively on about 10 machines since (I am pretty sure a lot more extensively than Patrick) - I know people who use it extensively - I am pretty sure there are people that i dont know who use it extensively So on Adrian's patch and above reasoning: ACKed-by: Jamal Hadi Salim cheers, jamal [1]If you used half of that logic on netfilter it would still be experimental or rather should be demoted to experimental.
