Rodrigo gave a persuasive argument for keeping workarounds: that they serve as a good guide for the bring up of the next generation. Not only do workarounds persist into the early revisions, they show where the workarounds were previously added to the code flow and sometimes the old workarounds have an explanation that give insight into their wider implications. Based on his suggestion, document the policy that we want to keep the workarounds from the current generation to guide the next. Older preproduction workarounds we still want to remove to keep the code clean.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
