+<title>Kernel Stablization</title> |

+<body> |

+<p> |

+The following policy is in place for kernel stabilization that can be performed by members of the kernel team without opening a stabilization bug. For this to occur, the following procedures must be followed: |
| 31 |
+</p> |
| 32 |
+<dl> |
| 33 |
+ <dt><b>For new kernel major point releases (e.g. 2.6.X)</b></dt> |
| 34 |
+ <dd> |
| 35 |
+ <ul> |
| 36 |
+ <li>A stable request bug is opened and arch teams stabilize as per existing policy. No auto stabilizing occurs here as only the arch teams can really determine if the kernel is working on their own arch.</li> |
| 37 |
+ </ul> |
| 38 |
+ </dd> |
| 39 |
+ <dt><b>For subsequent security related releases of a kernel point release 2.6.X.Y</b></dt> |
| 40 |
+ <dd> |
| 41 |
+ <ul> |
| 42 |
+ <li>If the kernel team determines a significant security fix is included for a kernel release of 2.6.X.y where 2.6.X or 2.6.X.(Y-1) has already been stabilized per the first bullet, the kernel team can auto stabilize that specific version</li> |
| 43 |
+ <li>Dependant upon the severity of the security bug, (root exploit, minor module) the kernel team will remove stable keywords from earlier versions of the same 2.6.X series within a reasonable timeframe. </li> |
| 44 |
+ </ul> |
| 45 |
+ </dd> |
