Yes, we kept sending (sigh).

That's exactly what we want to conform to. It just takes a hole lot of time (several weeks now) to feed it into -ac. And believe me, Alan is *very* helpful here but he can't work on just LVM integration for sure. Once we've got -ac updated, we'll try setting up a cron job to feed in the small patches we are going to send to Alan/Linus ;-)) > > (we don't care if sometimes you introduce bugs by sending patches > very frequently to Linus, cause we'll know that you just as regularly > send fixes. but don't accumulate bug-fixes over many months in a cvs > tree and sit on them.)
