Massive shout out to Alan, who raised the idea of six month release cycles for Linux at the Kernel Summit: “Alan Cox had a different idea: given that there is not a great deal of stuff to merge into 2.7, perhaps the developers could actually do a six-month release cycle for a change?”

But some serious spankage for Andrew Morton, who “would like to see a 2.6 tree which continues to change and evolve, and let the distributors do the final stabilization work. In his vision of the future, the kernel.org kernel will be the most featureful and fastest kernel out there, but it will not necessarily be the most stable.”
