As the release team is Cc:ed, I just want to make sure it is aware that switching to 2.6.26 possibly means changes to userland, and thus freeze exceptions. A few examples: - The switch to linux-libc-dev 2.6.25 has caused a lot of FTBFS due to removed headers. Change have been needed in various packages including glibc. - The switch to linux-libc-dev 2.6.25 is the reason why glibc currently FTBFS on hppa (due to a timeout in a test). Unfortunately I don't know yet which change causes the problem, I am down to a 600 lines diff. - I have recently uploaded a new version of lm-sensors needed to support 2.6.26 kernels. That said I neither opposed nor in favor of a switch to 2.6.26, I just want to emphasize that it can have a bigger impact than expected on the release planning. -- .''`.
