We probably don't want the .1, .2, and so on tags in the tree, as well as not all fixes in there will be proper for his tree (like the 2 currently in 2.6.11.1.) The "real" fix will go into his tree through the proper ways. But I/we will be sure to pick out the stuff that should go there and send them to him. thanks, greg k-h - 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/
