From: Greg KH on 1 Jul 2010 14:00
First off, sorry for the long delay in the -stable kernel releases, they
got pushed to the back-burner for other things recently ("Hey look, is
that the sun finally here in the Pacific Northwest?")

Please note that there are still a large number of patches that have
been submitted to the -stable trees for inclusion, that I have not
included yet. Do not worry, they are still in my queue, but due to the
large number of patches that I already have queued up, I figured it was
better to get what I have applied already out for a release and then
work on catching up after this.

If anyone has any questions about this, please let me know.

thanks,

greg k-h

Looks like this cpmac patch was not included in this -stable series:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg133317.html

Can you queue it for future -stable releases or this one?

Thank you.

{sigh}

Did you see the second paragraph above as to why it isn't in this
release?

And yes, it will be in future ones.

I did. :)
and I saw the third paragraph above.
["If anyone has any questions about this, please let me know."]

Unfortunately, I don't find it feasible to review several hundred patches
in the next 3 days. I think that I understand how your stable & staging
cycles (workloads) work, but I also think that it would help if you
wouldn't batch all stable reviews together like this.

Well, if the question could be answered by reading the second
paragraph... :)

If you look closely, almost all of the patches in all of the trees are
in other trees, so the number of unique patches is much less than the
whole total of all of the different patches in 4 trees.

If you don't like this type of review cycle, what would you prefer?

thanks,
