8 I assume this bit is just a transition since we don't want to
9 downgrade from 3.17/18 to 3.14, and that once we get the next longterm
10 we'll just follow that? If we kept doing delayed stablereqs on the
11 latest stable then users are going to tend to be behind on the fixes
12 just as they are today since they won't run longterm by default.

26 Not that it means anything, but you have a +4 from me and my cats
27 (just be happy I don't let them post here - FYI they're easily bribed
28 with food).

30 I'd suggest that the kernel maintainers can "just do it" if there is
31 no objection after a few days. Escalation is for when there is
32 disagreement.
