Andrey, let's make sure this is properly communicated over time for the maintainers and linaro-dev, so everyone can understand and see the progress done (to prepare any kind of rebase/pull). >>> Yes, this makes sense. >>> Would the following plan be OK: >>> (<N> should normally be 0, but may be a small positive number) >>> * till the end of this week please use llct-20121004.0 as the base for >>> the linux-linaro (ll) topics >>> * October 9: ll rebuild based on llct-20121005.<N> >>> * October 16: ll rebuild based on llct-20121012.<N> >>> * October 23: ll rebuild based on llct-20121019.<N>, ll code freeze (no >>> massive ll topics updates after that; bugfixes only) >> >> Is this month following the normal release cycle?

There are some advantages already about using v3.7 (like aarch64 support), but as it's a quite short cycle, and the we'll probably not have enough RCs to produce a useful tree for the release, v3.6 would be the best option. Let's also make sure we have a session at Connect to discuss the tree maintenance as usual, then we can better announce/propose any changes you're doing for the following cycles.
