I'm not a big fan of sharing topic branches across different subsystem
trees, I'd much rather just agree that one tree or another takes the
patchset and the others plan accordingly. Based on our previous
discussions I was under the impression that you wanted me to merge
this patchset into lsm/dev, but it looks like that is no longer the
case - which is okay by me.

Assuming Roberto gets a v10 out soon, do you expect to merge the v10
patchset and send it up during the upcoming merge window (for v6.9),
or are you expecting to wait until after the upcoming merge window
closes and target v6.10? Once again, either is fine, I'm just trying
to coordinate this with other patches.
