"after > 4 weeks in mainline" means "after in Linus's tree for 4 weeks, but > Linus's tree is not "stable mainline". I meant a proper mainline release like 6.7 or 6.8 to make it obvious that this does not mean a "pre-release". I actually had used the term "proper mainline release" earlier in a draft, but a quick search on the net showed that this is not really used out there. "stable mainline release" is not popular either, but seemed to be a better match; I also considered "final mainline release", but that felt odd. It feels like there must be some better term my mind just stumbles to come up with. Please help. :-D Ciao, Thorsten
