This makes me wonder whether you apply any patch you receive via email, or whether you read the covering email first. Arnd's 0/5 email said: However, I'm looking for an Ack from Cyril Chemparathy and Sekhar Nori first, to be sure we won't need this code in the future. This is exactly the reason why I'd now recommend that if people want to send out patches which they don't intend maintainers to take, that they use "[PATCH RFC" in the subject _and_ they make sure that the patch can't be trivially applied. That means maintainers have to (a) not notice the RFC in the subject, and _then_ they have to intentionally fix the patch before applying. Both taken together will be sufficient deterrent for this kind of mistake happening. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. -- 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/
