Why do you think fixes for minor problems should be backported to stable kernels?
- 77pt77 4y agoBecause many times minor problems are not minor at all. Test the damn thing!
- willcipriano 4y agoIs this the sort of thing you feel is worth someone else's time and effort, or do you think it's meaningful enough to consume some of your own? If the latter you can offer to do it, if the former you can pound sand.
- CodesInChaos 4y agoThe issue isn't effort here, but that each backported fix risks breaking something else. People who want all the latest fixes can choose the latest kernel, instead of relying on backports to stable kernels.
