Собственно, сабж.
Greg Kroah-Hartman has a suggestion for anybody who would like to help him maintain long-term-stable kernel releases. «All I request is that people test the -rc releases when I announce them, and let me know if they work or not for their systems/workloads/tests/whatever. [...] But, if you want to do more, I always really appreciate when people email me, or stable@vger.kernel.org, git commit ids that are needed to be backported to specific stable kernel trees because they found them in their testing/development efforts.»
