I have pulled this, but also as per that discussion, I think we'll be
parting ways in the 6.17 merge window.
You made it very clear that I can't even question any bug-fixes and I
should just pull anything and everything.
Honestly, at that point, I don't really feel comfortable being
involved at all, and the only thing we both seemed to really
fundamentally agree on in that discussion was "we're done".
Hello Linus,
Do you think the "hard rules" for "no features" in the "fixing merge
window" also apply for modules in Linux kernel which are marked as
experimental (as long no other code outside of the module itself is
changed)?
I understand your points fully for non experimental code but maybe it is
a solution is to have different rules for code marked as experimental
code. Every user who uses experimental features should be aware that
potential non stable code is used.
Maybe you can think of it.
Thnx.
Ciao,
Gerhard
