Linus indicated (maybe privately) that the end of his BK usage would be immediately after the -rc2 release. I'm taking that to mean "no more BK usage from Linus, period." Thinking about it a bit, if you're asking Linus to pull your tree, Linus would then have to extract the individual change sets as patches to put into his new fangled patch management system. Is that a reasonable expectation? However, it's ultimately up to Linus to decide. 8) -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - 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/
