There are two points here: |
| 42 |
- first I consider it as my contribution to GenToo to help testing. |
| 43 |
The problem with the 3.12 prerelease will definitely continue with |
| 44 |
the main release |
| 45 |
coming in about 4 weeks. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
- This 3.12 prerelease has a lot of BTRFS pataches. Since I'm using |
| 48 |
BTRFS for most of |
| 49 |
my file systems, I like to have the most recent fixes. |
