Come back when you are in position to make demands. Until then, feel free to bugger off. Arrogant demands are _not_ going to impress anybody - $DEITY witness, arrogance is not in short supply around here and with waay better credentials to back it up. If you are willing to help EVMS folks - go ahead and offer them your help in cleaning the codebase up. _That_ can change situation. Public wankathlon will earn you a warm spot in killfiles and fail to affect any merges in any direction. *plonk* - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
