The estimate of one or two RC periods applies to hardware/ workloads which everyone has or which wasn't supported by the previous release. For less widely used hardware/ workloads which has been supported for years already, it's more like between 2.5 months ( = a mainline kernel release period) and more than a year ( = two release periods of typical distributions). -- Stefan Richter -=====-===-= =--- ==--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
