Never break the userspace.
For my liking, there have been to many changes to the Kernel in the 3.9 release. It messed up my Intel KMS in the framebuffer (false colors) using EFI Stub-Booting. I definitely hope for it to be fixed soon and that, as Linus puts it, the developers check their changes more thoroughly before releasing them to the public.
"Never break the userspace."

Originally posted by wargames View PostAbsolutely. If Linus does not want to accept the patches, then reject them, but don't say things like that because not everyone likes that kind of stuff. He is becoming way too egocentric.
As a developer If I had the choice I would rather get said please send less patches from now on, and my work gets accepted, but I can remerge my complete work again in a month against a very different codebase 3.11. and try to seperate the stuff I can integrate and that I dont.
I know that is not impossible and git is great...
2 weeks merge window is very short, its more or less normal that such stuff happens.

Linux 3.10-rc5 Kernel Continues A Worrying Trend
Phoronix: Linux 3.10-rc5 Kernel Continues A Worrying Trend
The fifth release candidate to the Linux 3.10 kernel is now available. Unfortunately, the changes merged in the past week continue to be too great to be to Torvalds' liking...
