I did consider letting architectures like microblaze just off the hook entirely - it's not like it will affect a lot of people. But at the same time, I don't want to be in the situation that some people get to send me patches just because I don't happen to think that their changes will matter to most others. And at this stage, I'd rather be too strict than too lenient. If -rc3 has no new regressions, and fixes the ones that hit people worst, I'll be very happy. I can be more open to patches after I get back, if it turns out that I was _too_ strict for -rc3. As to the number of "no, I won't take it" emails, I suspect a large part of that is simply because most developers (understandably) do not read lkml, stauing mostly on the development lists that are more specific to their particular area. As a result, there's no real way to reliably reach people, and I end up sending basically the same message several times. Which obviously tends to also then make the messages more cross ;) Linus -- 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/
