Ok, the issue here is that we're trying to get a release out and so anything that majorly changes the code is getting shunted aside for the moment. It would be stupid to just add everything that comes in on the ML without review. Linus does the exact same thing. I've said this before to you Andreas, but apparently you feel that you should have final say on whether your patches go in or not. As far as getting patches into the stock kernel, we've been sending patches to Linus for over a month now, and none of them have made it in. Maybe someone has some pointers on how we get our code past his filters. > Basically, I'm at the point where trying to create clean patches from my > LVM source tree to apply to CVS is so much work it is hardly worth it. > I'm seriously looking at devoting the time I used to spend on LVM to the > EVMS project instead.
