Help! No, more like "I have way too much to do in the next week because I'm out two days, and am required to finish an ethics course before the 30th." I don't think there's much to do to get this in shape, I just don't want to make promises I can't keep. >> But anyway, yes, we might have more time. > > At the Kernel Summit Linus said he wants this kind of fix to go into > the > merge window rather than in the -rc series if possible.

So in light of Linus' stated position, it would be helpful for me (and maybe others on the list) to have a good feel for when you guys are planning to push your merge-window changes to Linus before each window opens. At the very least, since many of us do not follow LKML, would someone commit to reflecting the LKML merge announcements to linux-nfs? Or is there a kernel announcements list we can follow (or that we can subscribe linux-nfs to)? -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com
