I know this is the last release, but I have gotten some complaints by people who are confused by the numbering scheme you are using for the Canonical stable kernel releases. Can you please use the EXTRAVERSION field with a "-something" tag in it to differenciate from the "normal" kernel.org stable releases? A simple "-ubuntu" or "-canonical" or "-fuzzy_bunnies" marking would be fine, or whatever you want to pick. Everyone used to do this a long time ago when we had lots of different kernel releases / trees floating around in the pre-git days, which made things much easier to figure out where the trees came from. thanks, greg k-h -- 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/
