I've been navel-gazing about this. Is the -mm tree a valid basis for a pre-release "cycle" ???. No-one in their right mind is going to get in the ring and argue with Andrew, but this is (pre-)Alpha in a lot of respects - he's putting the code out there for people to test. Bits are always being added in and yanked out - in conglomerates that probably *none* of the respective developers could have even imagined, let alone tested. Might we be better off with a continuing CKRM patchset against a mainline such as 2.6.13/14. Something like Con publishes as his ck set, but instead of incorporating our own patches like he does, just incorporate what we need from other development teams. Having configfs being reliant on the various cluster proponents agreeing on a common code-set might be a bit of a worry. Similar (but probably less) concerns arise with the timely acceptance of cpuset. Why not have a consolidated set that is on the download page so everyone is on the same base code - and the project could continue to issue updates against that as required. As code gets merged into the mainline, it would (hopefully) be merely a matter of trimming "our" patchset. We are exposed to the risk that some of our required code may not make it into the mainline, but that exposure is no greater, and probably less, than that from relying solely on -mm. Look at what happened with relayfs. I know I railed against having to include the configfs patch, but I'm happy to eat my words on that - a couple of days extra thought and a couple of beers can do that :o). Thoughts anyone - or am I just being stupid ???.
