Message-ID: User-Agent: Alpine 2.01 (DEB 1266 2009-07-14) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Provags-ID: V01U2FsdGVkX19eCiE9n0GEfY9soEz6C/gGvdGnT2KD1noHVqm 9NMPKITwBHECmMM5gay/bPzv72HEU9XBtWiL0FevD6PQM73e7r HjbyX92FXxv07AdjeKmjQ== Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, there's currently an open Ubuntu bug[0], with the intent to compile NFS_FSCACHE (and possibly AFS_FSCACHE, 9P_FSCACHE) into the standard Ubuntu kernel. However, since *_FSCACHE still depends on EXPERIMENTAL, this won't happen. I'd like to know if the EXPERIMENTAL tag is still needed for these options and if so, what would be needed to remove this tag. Removing this tag would allow Ubuntu to include these features into its kernel, possibly allowing an even greater userbase to test these features, hopefully providing feedback. Thanks, Christian.
