There would definitely be a painful period as they tried to resist reminding people and just pulling the patch in anyway. I think it could work, but we would have to be firm about it and document it well. Some kind of a stable-release.txt README is definitely in order. I went to check oe-core for some kind of existing documentation on policies and came up empty. Perhaps just documenting this pseudo-existing policy in a place where developers are likely to find it and can be easily referred to would be a good first step. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Technical Lead - Linux Kernel _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
