I never said that 2.6.16-stable is going to succeed, all I'm saying is that all testing done on it will be a wasted effort, that's why there are no infinite competing trees. So one would hope that an official maintainer isn't choosed by random. > And this situation is already self correcting; if no users follow, it's The real ironic thing, is that the only feedback he has to know if users follow or not, is KLive. Which I'm going to shutdown anyway if nothing changes w.r.t. 2.6.16-stable since I'm not out to fight with anyone, I don't even have a degree in statistics, so it's up to the thousands getting a degree in statistics every year to argue with the -stable maintainers, certainly not me. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
