Thanks for all your hard work Greg!


I'd also like to thank Greg.

Ubuntu will continue to support 2.6.32.y until April 2015. Ubuntu
has also chosen 3.2 as a long term supported kernel for the 12.04
release and will pick up support for it when 3.3 is released.

What exactly do you mean by this?

If you're agreeable, I would very much prefer to continue with the stable update model that you've developed by committing to the linux-2.6.32.y and linux-3.2.y branches in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git. The mailing list review process as well as the policies regarding patch suitability are working well.
