Is the Stable Linux Kernel Moving Too Fast?

Posted by Soulskill on from the committed-to-committing dept.

darthcamaro writes "Yesterday the stable Linux 3.10 kernel was updated twice — an error was made, forcing a quick re-issue. 'What happened was that a patch that was reported to be broken during the RC [release candidate] review process, went into the release, because I mistakenly didn't pull it out in time,' Greg Kroah-Hartman said. The whole incident however is now sparking debate on the Linux Kernel Mailing List about the speed of stable Linux kernel releases. Are they moving too fast?"

    WHAT THE FUCK!

    I can't believe this. I've been reading Slashdot since 1998, and I have never seen such a stupid suggestion in all that time.

    ...

    OK, one of those two must be blatantly false.
