Virtualization: now what?Virtualization: now what?Posted May 27, 2006 10:43 UTC (Sat) by gadeiros (guest, #3929)Parent article: Virtualization: now what?
Dumb question of somebody not involved in kernel development...
Wouldn't these changes not be big enough to start Linux 3.0 development (maybe call it 2.9 or 2.99 until it's stable enough for 3.0) and keep the 2.6 branch for driver additions some other "smaller" changes and bug/security fixes which are relativley easy to forward port later?

Virtualization: now what? Posted Jun 1, 2006 14:14 UTC (Thu) by rvfh (subscriber, #31018) [Link] Why branch when you can do both in the same tree? Disable the macro/configuration option and you have 2.6, enabled it and you have '3.0'. Until '3.0' becomes '2.6'. That's how the preemptable kernel stuff works at least.
