Hi Ric, yes, well, there is a point to that. But it is also common for partners and customers to report "works with kernel XY", and now one of the parties has made it much more difficult for other maintainers to look up why - while the others still publish their broken out series.
While I personally wish the whole enterprise distribution approach would go away (and people would instead pay us for supporting them on latest upstream - hey, a boy can dream), I also know that there's a pretty good cooperation between the engineering teams. I hope that is not affected.

I don't see any reason that work upstream is impacted by how we package patches against the RHEL6 tree.
In addition, I fully expect our kernel team to continue to help any one on any distro understand, debug, etc just like we always do.

how long can the engineers on the kernel team continue to help others when management is explicitly trying to make it harder for those same others?
