I don't think the criticism was directed at the core ARM code that you maintain (Ingo and others even praised it). I also don't think that you stopping maintaining it would help in any way with this situation. We probably shouldn't take criticism personally. Linus has some points which the ARM community is aware of already since there is ongoing work for consolidating the platform code (recent v2p patches, SMP-on-UP, FDT and probably more will come) only that this won't happen overnight. If you stop merging any of these, there's definitely no way out (other than doing the work separately for the next two years and replacing the arch/arm in a single pull request). -- Catalin -- 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/
