Because then: - the action is not effective immediately but sometimes after few months, not counting people still working with 2.6.12 or so. - IMHO adding Cc: patch-service is a bit easier than using a script - I think the "observers" thing is worth the effort. Now I only see changes to certain areas I'm interested in when they are accepted upstream. - maintaining the script is probably more work than maintaining the database :-) And with a service you can: - maintain a patch archive - be sure nobody tries to be "creative" - perhaps other things I haven't thought about. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- 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/
