That is your point of view. |

For others, 'Resizing' is something that is not needed and never used. But |
| 20 |
being in mainline is mandatory! -mm Kernels are full of experimental stuff, |
| 21 |
highly unstable and very buggy. Nothing you can really trust. So as long as |
| 22 |
something does not show up in the Linus' Kernel, it is not usable. And that |
| 23 |
does not cover the testing something gets in Linus' kernel, that is simply |
| 24 |
not there with -mm kernels. |
