This scares me. We're shipping 2.6.31 because we can't justify the risk
of shipping rc code in a final release. With huge amounts of change
like this, we're essentially doing the same thing.
There is actually going to be more patches :( There are maybe 50+ other
patches floating around the linux scsi and fcoe lists that are not yet
in the scsi maintainer's tree. I was going to send those patches once
the review for those other patches was done upstream and the scsi
maintainer had taken them.
What justification is there for this ?
(If the answer involves the acronym 'RHEL' there are better ways
than shoving it into Fedora at the last minute)
It might be both RHEL and fedora.
Hans de Goede is working on adding fcoe boot to F12, so I wanted to make
sure that he and our users/testers had the most up to date fcoe kernel code.
I think fcoe boot is probably getting added to F12 for RHEL though. I
also need to update the fcoe code for RHEL too.
