Yesterday the stable Linux 3.10 kernel was updated twice — an error was made, forcing a quick re-issue (http://www.eweek.com/developer/linux-3.10-kernel-receives-two-updates-in-one-day). 'What happened was that a patch that was reported to be broken during the RC [release candidate] review process, went into the release, because I mistakenly didn't pull it out in time,' Greg Kroah-Hartman said (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/20/662). The whole incident however is now sparking debate on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/21/500) about the speed of stable Linux kernel releases. Are they moving too fast?
