Hi,

I'm announcing a new kernel tree; -as. The goal of this tree is to form
a stable base for vendors/distributors to use for their kernels. In
order to do this, I intend to include only security fixes and obvious
bugfixes, from various sources. I do not intend to include driver
updates, large subsystem fixes, cleanups, and so on. Basically, this is
what I'd want 2.6.10.1 to contain.

After all of the recent discussion it's nice to see someone step up and do this :)
Thanks a lot, I'm sure I will find it useful when producing gentoo's kernel packages..

Just one suggestion- maybe could you distinguish security patches from bugfixes? I.e. prepend or append the security patches with "sec" or something?

Thanks,
Daniel
