If people think that even/odd will devalue odd releases, guess what 2.6.x.y will do? By that line of reasoning nobody will test 2.6.x just the same as they aren't testing 2.6.x-rc* right now. I think they will test the odd releases, because as a real release they will get slashdot/lwn.net/etc. announcements. That's one of the major things the -rc's don't get. Maybe it gets a reference in lwn.net's weekly kernel article, but mostly kernel geeks read those and that's not who we want testing -rc's (such geeks already are doing so). It has to be a "real" release. That does have an impact. However, I am ambivalent about how to make them real. Even/odd, 2.6.x.y, either is fine with me. - 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/
