hmm that would mean in 4 days from now, 
sure i'm on university and should pass exams primarily..
i may do that from time to time, but we don't produce that
many patches that it makes sense to me.

the primarily goal of kjt should be to collect patches 
that are suitable for the official kj release from acme.
most objection on the kj mailing list are pretty funded.
but you are right that the rules for kjt shouldn't be too tight.

/me laughs
yeeah, i know mine above is not much better,
they are still not merged, but we had that double check of size
by domen puncer, that was quite wired, he got bigger sizes by them.
(he used a red hat machine with gcc 3.3.3, if i remember correctly)
so i don't know if those should really be pushed.

what i would love to see is that people use kjt for there own kernels,
so that we can catch bugs in our patches before sending them out!

thanks a lot for your nice mail. :)
a+ maks
