However, if I may have a suggestion, I believe you shouldn't submit all the changes needed in one big patch series. Instead, what I would suggest is that you: 1/ Write up a web-page or Wiki-page with a list of things that need to be fixed. 2/ Send one patch series for each thing that needs to be fixed. And maybe not send all patch series at the same time: handle one or two topics at a time. 3/ Keep your Wiki page updated with the things that have been merged, and things that remain to be merged, that remain to be submitted, etc. Moving to a relocatable SDK is a big change that requires lots of smaller changes. We have to handle it progressively, otherwise it will never be merged due to the amount of required changes. Thanks!
