Without knowing the details, we should try to avoid such a scenario under all circumstances for an officially released kernel. > The reason was never discovered. Well, that's a little bit frightening :) So how can we make sure that the kernel is properly tested? Adding it as an additional package to the interim builds and ask people to install and test it (or even ask at installation)? Ask specific people (or everyone via the website) to download it from somewhere and test it? I am afraid the number of testers might be pretty low. The probability that bugs slip through to a "stable" release will then be high. I am really not sure what the best approach is. Semi-offtopic: Do we have statistics on how often the interim releases are downloaded at all? If not, we should start gathering that information, as this helps us estimate how many people are running (and testing) the "new stuff".
