Adding > and removing a patch in the stable tree is a no-op. You're a fucking moron. It's not a no-op at all, and you don't seem to understand it. It's *information*. It's "that patch didn't work". That's not a no-op. That's actual useful and worthwhile knowledge. To quote Thomas Edison: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." So just reverting it from stable, *WITHOUT LEARNING THE LESSON*, is not a no-op at all, it's a sign of being a f*cking moron. I'm stupider for just reading your email. Go away. Linus
