See my previous e-mail; if you're willing to go through with this suggestion, then please back that up with sufficient reasoning. That is, state what is bad with gentoo-sources and state the advantages that would come with vanilla-sources; but don't forget to document the disadvantages as well, since there is no magic silver bullet here. Would you upgrade more than hundreds to thousands of servers to 3.10.0? Take a look at the whole picture; for example, Nouveau worked great in late 3.6 and regressed over a lot of people in early 3.7, so they had to wait for fixes to land in late 3.7 again. Another example? Here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468078#c0 And there thousands of bugs to find on all the bug trackers out there that share this kind of nature; so, this is why you can't simple mark what upstream deems stable, but rather what our QA process deems stable. Changing that QA process doesn't happen from one day onto the other; it has to be carefully thought out, documented, planned and announced. If not, it could affect Gentoo's image. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
