    | For those of you who haven't waded through the huge "RFD: Kernel release
    | numbering" thread on lkml to realize that we are now going to start
    | putting out 2.6.x.y releases, here's the summary:
    |
    | A few of us $suckers will be trying to maintain a 2.6.x.y set of
    | releases that happen after 2.6.x is released. It will contain
    | only a set of bugfixes and security fixes that meet a strict set
    | of guidelines, as defined by Linus at:
    | http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/283396
    |
    | Chris Wright and I are going to start working on doing this work, we
    | will have a <SOME_ALIAS>@kernel.org to post these types of bug fixes to,
    | and a set of people we bounce the patches off of to test for "smells
    | good" validation. We will also have a bk-commits type mailing list for
    | those who want to watch the patches flow in, and a bk tree from which
    | changsets can be pulled from.
    |
    | Chris and I will be hashing all of the details out next Tuesday, and
    | hopefully all the infrastructure will be in place soon. When that
    | happens, we will post the full details on how all of this is going to
    | work. In the meantime, feel free to CC: me and Chris on patches that
    | everyone thinks should go into the 2.6.11.y releases.
    |
    | But right now, Chris is on a plane, and we don't have the email alias
    | set up, or the proper permissions set up on kernel.org to push changes
    | into the v2.6 directory, but we have a few bugs that are needing to be
    | fixed in the 2.6.11 release. And since our mantra is, "release early
    | and often", here's the first release.

    First of all, congratulation.
    I really think this will be a great improvement to the development process.

    I couldn't agree more with this decision, it's really what I suggested a
    few months ago:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109882220123966&w=2

    Out of curiosity, are you going to include the -as branch ?

                    Paolo
