I must have missed the patches on lvm-devel? Anyway, the tool patches create
conflicts with the vg_read patches that are pending for months. Could people
*please* stop changing conflicting parts of the code (see also Milan's patch
that changes the recovery code which conflicts with vg_read)? You can perfectly
fine create patches on top of the vg_read changes if they obviously overlap...

Alternatively, we could of course discard the vg_read patches, but I haven't
seen any NAKs yet...

(I guess you may consider this to be a NAK for the related commits, until the
situation is resolved somehow...)
