Hmm.. that will still leave people wondering "but I'm running Linux 4.4, not 4.7, I wonder what the status of feature X is.." Should we also add a column for kernel version, so we can add "feature X is known to be OK on Linux 3.18 and later".. ? Or add those to "notes" field, where applicable? -- Pasi > -- > Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
