I think we should focus more on having a correct fix than a quick fix
and rush it into mainline. I was criticized for pushing a rather
complex fix into -rc4, and was told that I should wait to 3.12. The
thing is, we had various versions of a fix by -rc1, but I wasn't
satisfied with it. After several rounds we were finally happy with the
fix and by that time, -rc4 was out. I pushed it regardless, as why
should I wait to 3.12 and then push it to stable? We all took our time,
tested the hell out of it (although not as much as it would get going
mainline), had it in linux-next for several days, knew the bug inside
and out and then when we were happy, added it to mainline. I didn't
really care what -rc it was, because it was to go to stable too. Several
patches are still being queued for 3.10. Oh, which I should push out,
as I got distracted by my day job ;-)
Maybe it would be good to discuss when things should go into -rc and
stable at Kernel Summit.
