I just assumed that the Greg and Chris were handling it until 2.6.18 gets released, and then Adrian takes over 2.6.16.y while the [stable] team moves on to 2.6.17.y and 2.6.18.y ... Was this an incorrect assumption? ...and if not, should 2.6.16.y patches always be sent to stable@kernel.org, or will Adrian have an alternate method for accepting patches? -Mike
