No, it will stay in the pre-kernels until the discussion on the mm
mailing list has either shown that yes, the code really is safe, or
resulted in a re-write.
I make pre-patches regardless, because I want to be able to let other

The code is quite old and stable and works as well today as it did
yesterday or a month ago.
However, there's an on-going discussion on whether the code is actually
strictly correct or not, and I didn't want to forget and release a real
pre7 without that being resolved..
