June 2008 is a long time away to let this linger. Why not say by End of the year 2007? That should give folks essentially two more 2.6 releases.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tom <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/3/07,

The arch/ppc tree has been in a semi-nebulous "bug fix only" state for a<br>few kernel releases now. The patch below officially declares this as of<br>the 2.6.22 kernel release and schedules arch/ppc for removal in June of

<br>+ arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc<br>+ tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will<br>+ remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms
<br>+ that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an<br>+ interested maintainer.<br>+Who: <a href="mailto:linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org">linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org</a><br>+<br>+---------------------------
