It may not be the actual real stable mailing list address, but the
stable scripts to actually pick up on the traditional way to mark stable
patches.

There are also reasons to explicitly avoid using the actual mailing list
address, since security patches with embargo dates generally do want the
stable marking, but don't want tools etc to mistakenly send the patch
out to the mailing list early.

So don't warn for things that are still actively used and explicitly
supported.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
