Agreed, Chuck has been really helpful. AFAIK, he sees it as time well-spent to make sure -stable is carrying patches so Fedora doesn't have to, great mantra. BTW, here's some stats (so it's not that far off from normal): [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6-stable]$ for x in $(seq 12 20); do echo linux-2.6.$x.y $(git-rev-list v2.6.$x..linux-2.6.$x.y | wc -l); done linux-2.6.12.y 53 linux-2.6.13.y 44 linux-2.6.14.y 96 linux-2.6.15.y 110 linux-2.6.16.y 788 linux-2.6.17.y 191 linux-2.6.18.y 240 linux-2.6.19.y 189 linux-2.6.20.y 235 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
