(hint, that was Jul 4th). If this would miss *next* major Linus' release, I would accept your complaints. But this is definitely not the case. Joe, patience is a virtue. Especially when it comes to lower-priority stuff. > I think that's overly long a time frame (any patch series will bitrot) > and too opaque for trivial patch submitters to have any idea what's > going on. Again, only large, corss-subsystem series with a lot of maintainers CCed are generally delayed. > Also, if you're concerned that the trivial tree wouldn't merge well in > next, That's not my concern. My concern is - avoid work duplication - avoid git history pollution (again, especially by trivial stuff) - avoid unecessary stepping on maintainer's toes by something that has such a low importance as trivial.git Thanks for taking care, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- 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/
