Cover letter [2.6.20.16 review 00/28] 2.6.20.16 -stable review

I proposed Chris and Greg to continue issuing a few more 2.6.20 releases during the time needed for 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 to show a significant drop in their patch rates, which hopefully will be just a matter of a few releases.

My goal is *not* to do all the hard work they do, but just to backport from their patches those which are meaningful for 2.6.20. For this reason, 2.6.20 releases will always be slightly late and should not contain patches not merged in more recent releases.

My intent with this version is to catch up with 2.6.21.7. Other patches are already pending for future releases, but one thing at a time. I'm trying to follow the same review/release process, so 28 patches will be posted for review in response to this message.

If some people think it's useless to repost individual patches that have already been reviewed in more recent versions, I'm open to adapting the process (eg: switch to one mail for -rc and one for release like Adrian does with 2.6.16).

The rolled up patch can be found here :
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.20.16-rc1.gz

Responses should be made by August 13, 2007, 20:00:00 UTC. Anything received after that time might be too late.

Thanks,
Willy
