Agreed, Chuck has been really helpful. AFAIK, he sees it as time
well-spent to make sure -stable is carrying patches so Fedora doesn't
have to, great mantra.
BTW, here's some stats (so it's not that far off from normal):
[chrisw@sequoia linux-2.6-stable]$ for x in $(seq 12 20); do echo linux-2.6.$x.y $(git-rev-list
v2.6.$x..linux-2.6.$x.y | wc -l); done
linux-2.6.12.y 53
linux-2.6.13.y 44
linux-2.6.14.y 96
linux-2.6.15.y 110
linux-2.6.16.y 788
linux-2.6.17.y 191
linux-2.6.18.y 240
linux-2.6.19.y 189
linux-2.6.20.y 235
