We're late in the rc's, I shouldn['t be getting pull requests of hundreds of lines any more. A lot of these fixes look like things that HAVE NEVER WORKED. If something has never worked, it damn well isn't a "fix" any more, it's actual real development. It should go in the development branch. The rc stuff is for regressions, and for things that actually are nasty problems (security, keeping people from getting work done). The rc stuff is *not* supposed to be development of stuff that has ever worked before. That's *new* code, not a bugfix. Linus
