Thank you for clearing that up. As noted elsewhere, I hope that this LTS stuff is going to be very clearly communicated in the release notes because it's very easy to confuse it and think that all of 4.11 is LTS. Considering this and the last message in the reviewrequest make me push this in master and skip 4.11 completely. Sorry for the noise in here and the best of luck in making the 4.11 release happen :) > > Cheers, > Albert > > > > > No, it won't get you or KDE any money, but it does save one stat call > > in a very common code path (creating files) thus you could argue that > > this patch will extend the life of storage devices ;-) > > > > >> Kind regards, > > >> Mark > > >> > > >> [1] https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111870/ > > > > _______________________________________________ > > release-team mailing list > > release-team@kde.org > > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team > > _______________________________________________ > release-team mailing list > release-team@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
