his document explain the current kernel plan for the GTA01/GTA02 kernel. The idea is to share the motivations behind current decisions and the actual decisions. This is a draft, and suggestions might be incorporated to it.

We would like to try this model for one or two and if we find we are doing something wrong we will update the plans.

Path review process 

Allow 2 days before applying non-trivial patches to allow for community feedback and for feedback from subsystem maintainers. If the patch has not issues that we can tell and it is relevant it will be applied.

Use tags and not forks for stable kernels

We hope that developers actually care about the development branch. If they care, they will helps us reject patches that will likely cause trouble. We will also get more testing.

We will tag stable kernels in the repository.

We know that people like forks and code that does not change often, but the linear model is working with upstream kernel (with a lot more people involved of course).

Upstream Linux kernel

We should have very basic GTA02 support upstream soon. Once we get to reach this milestone we will check what drivers can be included.
