Nick So your first few mails were OK, but now you are coming close to a dozen emails in my mbox alone, and the thing is, there's over 4,000 FIXME's in the kernel source: comet:~/tip> git grep -i FIXME | wc -l 4415 These FIXME's are there to warn active developers about issues to work on - and they generally get removed when that code gets fixed or changes later on, typically without generating any separate commit. (Sometimes they don't get removed for a longer time - there's not much harm as eventually they will be removed.) In other words: please stop this stream of mostly pointless emails! Instead of generating 4,000+ additional emails, please try to find some real bug to work on? Thanks, Ingo
