I was thinking quite the opposite. The Linux community doesn't exactly have a great track-record for their stable releases. The thoughts behind the process might be good, but do we have examples where it has worked out well? The 2.4 series seems to have been particularly bad for new major issues in their stable releases. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
