Are you suggesting one or more of: 1. BK has improved LK workflow 2. BK has not improved LK workflow 3. BK has had no impact on LK workflow 4. you hate the license Any of these or something else? If your answer does not include 1, why? I've read http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3148 >From my view, LK workflow post patch penguin (ie: BK) is improved simply because fewer patches seem to be lost. I too do not use BK because of the license restrictions on developing any other SCM systems. I think that portion of the license is just wrong, but BK is BitMover's product and I believe Larry can license it as he chooses. - 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/
