-stable branches usage
It's probably not a surprise when I'm saying that maintaining all the -stable branches of 2.6.16..2.6.21 for MIPS is a major effort and increasingly simply a huge pain in the ... you know where due to the differences. So before I actually deciede when and which of the branches I'm going to dump I would like to poll who actually uses these -stable branches.
Thanks,
Ralf

For Debian, the 2.6.18 tree is useful since our stable kernel is based on that release. However, we can only put crucial fixes into a stable release, so I wouldn't expect much to show up on the 2.6.18 branch.
