You can pretty much say nobody looks into hello/hello.c but is it a reason to tell it garbage. I personally handle grub-extras the same way as GRUB2 Actually the same people that take care of mainline also take care of grub-extras. I also have two new things on the queue for grub-extras: LUKS and gPXE import. --=20 Regards Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig2E935F9F7B83DF6AA4353271 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iF4EAREKAAYFAkr9v/gACgkQNak7dOguQgnvbwEAtcJsxmbQGFR5Te37T8Ytvvjc LtOikuHOkQuNn/JJIxgBAI+wcBupvcEacvtxussbWURDlQYIv5isCl3DkZP3E34+ =JEog -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig2E935F9F7B83DF6AA4353271--
