Hi!

A good news for Linux community!

Will we benefit from that in CoreOS?

I'm just wondering because of the rootA and rootB partitions schemas.

Thanks for clarification!

Cheers,

Pierre, it is possible we could do both. Our current model will not go away, but for extremely specific kernel bugs, we could potentially deploy this as a hot fix. We do not have anything on our roadmap to incorporate this, but once the tool matures we might re-evaluate.
