I run both CURRENT and STABLE on production systems. And we'll find many other people on this newsgroup who do the same, but not everyone's a kernel hacker, or even a decent programmer, so it's kind of insignificant. This will probably degenerate into a bikeshed so I'll add just one suggestion: rename "-STABLE" to "-ABISTABLE" or "-STABLEABI" and carry on as usual. :) --------------enig410617FA8109077B471FD13C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHDO/IldnAQVacBcgRAmEOAKCAcmPFKHFuGnZWhipasnP6RGrvHACggKCa 9bg8n0oo52+BEqvSt7XJEGQ= =XM2l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig410617FA8109077B471FD13C--
