Now queued up for 4.14.y, thanks.
can you *please* slow a little down?
True. It will really help if you can have some sort of fixed schedule for stable release, like maybe stablerc is ready on Thursday or Friday and release the stable on Monday. Having a weekend in stablerc will be helpful for people like me who only get the time in weekends for upstream or stable kernel.
Any sort of schedule will never work for everyone (for example, if it's part of your paid job - you don't necessarily want to review stuff over the weekend).
a schedule is not needed, but please give maintainers at least a chance to react on stable inclusion request. In this case Martin asked for inclusion on Monday and the patch was applied two days later.
True, especially when the maintainer is asked a question as part of the patch.
I've already had the feeling that we'd need the other patch too, but in this case at least I should have searched for Fixes tags.
Greg, how about reminding people of Fixes tags in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst ?
