Maybe setting up a mailing list where all the patches have to be posted before inclusion in this tree, would help the maintainer(s) a lot. Since we expect little traffic (at least compared to LKML) a lot of developers (even "small" developers like myself) can review all the patches for correctness, and throw quite a few eyes on them. The more eyes, the less a chance for bugs to slip by. Just a thought, -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
