But I want it maintained and submitted when it makes sense. What bothers me is this "I commit to git and I'm done - shall random scripts handle the rest" mentality.
All Kernel:* repos _are_ maintained. Kernel:HEAD might be broken sometimes, but it's usually fixed quickly once when recognized. Not much different from the normal packages. But I was asking about maintenance of the kernel in factory not in Kernel:*
I do wonder, however, whether you got actually a submission from Kernel:HEAD to FACTORY. That is, is Kernel:HEAD automatically submitted, or did you take it manually?
The latest (automatic) submission is from 2014-06-06, so I submitted it myself as request 238317.
If that will go away in Kernel:stable, I'm fine with changing.
A similar breakage can happen on Kernel:stable, too, but maybe less likely because there are less activities there, and the code base is supposed to be stabler.
The only drawback would be that we'll miss the integration test of the latest Linus kernel by this change. But, if FACTORY is aimed to be really stably usable, Kernel:stable is definitely a safer choice.
Other development projects submit late RCs too if they are confident about it. But they actually think about if to submit or not. And that's what I'm talking about. What I'm missing is the taking care and taking responsibility for the factory kernel. The most important part - the releasing to factory - is left to scripts.
