I think it's entirely due to the awesome effort by Chuck Ebbert of Red Hat. He has been digging through all of the applied patches to Linus's tree and been forwarding them on to the stable team. Without his effort and help, we would not have so many patches in these releases. I know I personally owe him at least one beer if I run into him at some conference, and I think all other users of the stable tree do too. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
