Hello all,
He says he is delaying 3.0 due to the discovery of a subtle bug.
This could be a big disappointment to a kernel logger code
but not for me at all :)
I am surprised that the Linux Founder uses Google+ :)

Why do we always find the subtle bugs just before a release?
Looks like I won't be releasing 3.0 today, just because Hugh found this
incredibly subtle pathname lookup bug. We have a patch, we understand
the problem, and it looks ObviouslyCorrect(tm), but I don't think I want
to release 3.0 just a couple of hours after applying it.
Of course, the bug is so hard to see that Hugh needs weeks to reproduce
it even with his stress test, so we could just ignore it and backport
the fix later. But I really hate making releases with known issues even
if it's almost certainly a "nobody will ever hit this in practice" issue.
Oh well.
