Linux kernel 'getting buggier,' leader says (ZDNet)
There really isn't anything that could go into 2.7 that isn't going in to 2.6-latest right now.
Exactly. Which is why we need a 2.7. Using the "stable" branch for new features, algorithm changes and bug-shaking isn't what users want. I could accept that the traditional development model based around odd/even minor version numbers might not work for the developers, but the 2.6 development model has only shifted the dissatisfaction to the consumers: it's hard to see that as a desirable outcome.
