However, one point remains is that we were told, by Dave Airlie, that they didn't want this code merged because the one person being paid to work on it "would be overwhelmed" if the code went upstream.

That kind of excuse pisses me off too :-) -- 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/
