Forgive me for using double negation, but there is no unstable work
that is *not* going into 2.6, if it's worthy, of course. That's one of
the basics of the "new development model". Linus said at kernel summit
last year that if anything disruptive enough came along he might
consider a 2.7, but anything else can just go to -mm and then to
2.6. So far, nothing disruptive enough has come along, but plenty of
far reaching changes have been made (consider for example 4 level page
tables).

Cheers,
Muli
