We are at -rc6 and assuming v5.9 is released after -rc7 that would give this roughly a week and a half in v5.9-rcX; considering the history of this patch (reverted, obvious problems in development) I'm not confident -rc6 provides enough soak time (even if we go to -rc8 I remain skeptical). In addition, we've got a history of not taking new work that isn't a bug-fix past the -rc5/-rc6 timeframe. This is why I'm debating holding this until after the merge window. > It isn't my call. I asked for your thoughts on the matter, surely you have the liberty to comment on your own opinion :) -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
