As a SUSE distro kernel maintainer, I'd really like to participate if any
such discussion is happening.
Namely:
- we're having a lot of internal discussions about how to adjust our
processess to the changes happening in -stable tree process and patch
acceptance criteria
- it's becoming more and more apparent (and even Greg stated it in the few
months old thread Sasha referred to) that stable tree is not really
intended for distros in the first place; it might be useful to have this
clarified a bit more.
Namely: it's sort of evident that most of the major distros are running
their own variation of the stable tree. Would it be beneficial to
somehow close the feedback loop back from the distros to the stable
tree? Or is total disconnect between the two worlds inevitable and
desired?
Thanks,
