Thank you for the prompt response. Should the netdev FAQ be updated
then to
contain that information?
+1
It is quite helpful to know which stable releases contain network
fixes
which don't, especially for those who rely on stable releases, at
least
we could do backport by ourselves when we know they are missing.
The people who maintain the -stable releases older than the ones Greg
KH
are doing typically scan the ones that Greg applies and tries to
integrate
them into their -stable releases when appropriate.
My understanding is, that Greg maintains the 4.4 (LTS) and 4.9 (LTS)
series.
If someone wants to write an accurate description of that and how it
works,
and add it to the FAQ, sure.
I can do that, when I understand the policy.
Kind regards,
Paul
