Andrew Morton on kernel developmentAndrew Morton on kernel developmentPosted Jun 11, 2008 17:59 UTC (Wed) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Andrew Morton on kernel development by MisterIO Parent article: Andrew Morton on kernel development It's not a matter of making developers doing something else. It's a priority thing. Most developers work both on new features and on bugfixes. Sometimes bugs are exposed as the code is modified to include new features. If some kernel is declared stable, it mean that only bugfixes are accepted. In other words, the merge window is skipped. To make the point, the previous kernel could be tagged as rc1 for the stable kernel. I don't know it it's going to work, but it may be worth trying once.
