In other distros, heavy backporting of fixes and so on happens; but on Gentoo, we instead want to keep our genpatches minimal and therefore follow upstream stable more closely. If we have a kernel version stable that is stable on other distros, it is merely a sign that our stabilization currently is in a severe state... -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
