1 With the number of experimental patches in mm-sources (it is, more or
2 less, a testing ground for things that may or may not eventually make it
3 into the main 2.6 kernel), whether or not it's based on an RC kernel has
4 very little to do with features or stability - consider mm-sources as
5 more of a permanent beta kernel. If you're worried about 2.6.4-mm1
6 being more stable than 2.6.5_rc2-mm4, you're better off not using
7 mm-sources at all.
