One of the most desirable aspects of linux is the software engineering talent that can be brought to bear on developing new kernel features/drivers/bug fixes quickly. Would it be at all worthwhile to entertain a discussion on a revised kernel development/release model that incorporated a central defect tracking repository and parallel kernel development and release tracks. New kernel features from the development track could be developed on the release base in parallel, merged in to the current base individually, tested and certified as release candidates in a more structured manner. The goal being more features sooner, maybe even a more scalable kernel development effort.
Now all we need is a GNU Atria ClearCase clone.....
