Those on the CC list are used to help correct some problems or
contributed to the definition/plan :-) They are familiar with
the whole story of this patch set.

As you mentioned, few years later when someone bisect out the patches
and want to learn why it's like that, he could have enough address to
send his question, although few of them may not work on the same aspect
anymore, but the chance to find someone have the story is higher.

I think the CC list is not that big for a patch set covered such a wide
range, isn't it :-P

Michael Wang
