Coordinating longterm branches
+
+ -
+ Linux 2.6.32 was chosen as the basis for RHEL 6, and other
+ distributions preparing a stable release in 2010 opted to do
+ the same
+
+ -
+ The 2.6.32.y longterm branch is the basis for kernel
+ packages in Debian 6.0, SLE11 SP1 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and
+ has over 3,500 changes
+
+ -
+ Other longterm branches have not been quite as widely used or as
+ active - maybe because release schedules didn't align as well
+
+ -
+ Do package maintainers expect/want there to be a longterm stable
+ branch for the kernel version in a stable release?
+
+ -
+ Should we be coordinating more explicitly to ensure that this
+ happens?
+
+ -
+ Would you be prepared to maintain such a branch at kernel.org?
