That makes up for some interesting stats about timing. If I assume every one of those next repos do use just a 2 week testing period before forwarding patches, I end up with 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 weeks. And if every one of these trees do use one month, this would be 4 month until a patch ends up in mainline where it resides another 3 month until it reaches people. Regards, Alexander Holler
