That's simply not so. Makes sense. It certainly is counter-intuitive sometimes, though. Just to clarify, there would seem to be one other category of bugs that is reasonable post-merge-window: those introduced by new features (or bug fixes) that were added during the merge window (i.e. something found in testing the new code during the -rc cycle). Those don't necessarily have to be security/oops problems and, for the most part, can't be regressions (at least for new features). Or should those wait, by and large, for the next merge window? jake -- Jake Edge - LWN - jake@....net - http://lwn.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
