(Sorry, don't have Jan's message.) The real issue is not that, but that David doesn't have write access to Linus' published tree. Neither should he because he could contaminate Linus' published tree with the MTD tree, or introduce some unreviewed patch which gave him backdoor access via the kernel. (Of course, David's unlikely to do either, but that's not really the point.) -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - 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/
