The linux-stable security tree project

Sasha Levin has announced the creation of the "linux-stable security tree"project. The idea is to take the current stable updates and filter outeverything that isn't identified as a security fix. "Quite a fewusers of the stable trees pointed out that on complex deployments, wherevalidation is non-trivial, there is little incentive to follow the stabletree after the product has been deployed to production. There is nointerest in 'random' kernel fixes and the only requirements are to keep upwith security vulnerabilities."
