I was trying to avoid having several active branches for LTP for several<br>
reasons. Mainly to avoid people running old LTP on reasonably modern<br>
kernels because they were under an impression that older release is more<br>
stable. Hence I would like to avoid having this if possible.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Yes, to maintain an old LTP branch will also cost more energy, I agree to avoid do that too.</div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">But one more question, if a person posts a patch to fix an older issue which conflicts with the new kernel stuff, what should we do for that? </div></div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Regards,<br></div><div>Li Wang<br></div></div></div></div>
