Hi Linus, Dan,
I didn't really follow the discussion at Kernel Summit, but there seemed
to be some question as to whether the cleancache stuff will be merged or
not. It missed 2.6.37 (obviously), but my question now is do I keep in
in linux-next in the hope that it will be merged in 2.6.38? Or is that
not going to happen?

Hi Stephen --
I am continuing to work towards other users for cleancache. While
it is not clear if they will be ready in time for the 2.6.38 window,
it is possible. If it is not too difficult to keep cleancache in
linux-next for now, I'd appreciate it if it stayed in. However
if you or Linus prefer otherwise, I understand.
Thanks,
Dan
