Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 00:03:40 +0300 From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...nel.org> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, stable@...nel.org Subject: Linux 2.6.27 will be a longtime supported kernel 2.6.16 has become a bit dated, and I'll maintain 2.6.27 for a few years as a replacement. As with 2.6.16, I'll pickup maintainance when the normal -stable maintainance ends (at some point after 2.6.28 gets released in January). It is intended to fill the niche for users who are not using distribution kernels but want to use a regression-free kernel for a longer time. It might be a small part of the userbase, but after the experiences with 2.6.16 I can say that there are quite a few users who appreciate such an offering. As people might have noted I wasn't able to do much kernel stuff recently, and 2.6.16 also suffered from this. I'll bring 2.6.16 back into shape and keep it maintained until at least mid-2009. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days. "Only a promise," Lao Er said. Pearl S.
