Something that is confusing for kernel developers is that the sparse wiki
(https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main+AF8-Page) refers kernel deve=
lopers
to an outdated sparse tree. Should something be done about this inconsisten=
cy?
Should the sparse wiki point at one of Luc's sparse trees or should perhaps
Luc be granted access to the tree that wiki points at
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git)?

Thanks,

Bart.
