Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2023 17:22:47 +0300 Message-ID: <87y1kncuh4.fsf@kernel.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/26.1 (gnu/linux) Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: netdev@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Me and Johannes are planning to take a longer break from upstream this summer. To keep things simple my suggestion is that we would official close wireless and wireless-next trees from June 23rd to August 14th (approximately). During that time urgent fixes would need go directly to the net tree. Patches can keep flowing to the wireless list but the the net maintainers will follow the list and they'll just apply them to the net tree directly. The plan here is that -next patches would have to wait for wireless-next to open. Luckily the merge window for v6.6 most likely opens beginning of September[1] so after our break we would have few weeks to get -next patches ready for v6.6. And the v6.5 -next patches should be ready by Monday June 19th so that we have enough time to get them into the tree before we close the trees. What do people think, would this work? This is the first time we are doing this so we would like to hear any comments about this, both negative and positive. You can also reply to me and Johannes privately, if that's easier.
