I tend to hang onto things I like, even if they aren't right yet. We really really need to push ahead with fixing this stuff. Because of this problem the number of bugs which people are adding, and the number of subsequent fixup patches (ALL of which are fugly and stupid) is just out of control, and quite unnecessary. Maybe we should just do the switch, send best-effort fixup patches at the arch maintainers and move on. -- 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/
