A tag (not a branch) will be laid down before the initial : checkin, and non-developers should either stick closely to that tag until : the kernel stabilizes, or expect large doses of pain. This tag will be : laid down as soon as June 26, 00:00 PST, with a minimum 24 hour warning : beforehand. Thanks for the fair warning. Now don't do it. Has core approved this? I don't think so, I've seen nothign from them about it. The instability ni -current for MONTHS is pain not acceptible. We've never really allowed that in the past. A CVS branch would be mcuh better for this sort of thing. I know that's a pain as well, but this is just for SMP people and the rest of us shouldn't have to deal with the pain. I understand your desire to have it all in a working tree, but causing pain for ALL developers for potentially MONTHS isn't a reasonable request.
