[RFC: Would that be useful if I sent regression-fixing patches, CCed to the appropriate maintainers/lists, along with the reports?]
This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 reported since 2.6.24-rc1 was released, for which there are no fixes in the mainline I know of. If any of them have been fixed already, please let me know. If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.23, please let me know either and I'll add them to the list. Also, please let me know if any of the entries below are invalid.
