I definitely want to have a good stable series or just a flow of fixes which are candidates for -stable, be it for 1.2 release or any prior release. I know Andreas Färber maintains a stable tree based on 0.15 version for Suse, last Ubuntu LTS release includes qemu[-kvm] 1.0 (or pre-1.1) and so on. So at least, please, pretty please, do NOT forget about Cc'ing qemu-stable on anything which are fixes for old bugs, please do NOT stop this flow to qemu-stable. I will maintain qemu[-kvm] in Debian Wheezy, it is based on 1.1 version. So I will have a 1.1."debian-stable" tree on git.debian.org. I can try to maintain some "more public" tree if it is useful to anyone. But whenever I'm up to the task, whenever such a maintenance will be successful - I don't know. It is the first time when some more or less established -stable series exists, before 1.0 release most fixes were quiet and had never been applied/backported to previous versions. This is why this qemu-stable flow is so important -- to at least let people know there's something which needs fixing. In short: even if it will be the last official 1.1.x release, please, do not forget about -stable! :) Thank you! /mjt
