Simply by looking at the technical pro/cons. If the patch doesn't cause any regressions, someone is ready to support it and it helps cleaning stuff up it can go in for me. You have certainly added stuff I don't need / use, but so what - As long as it doesn't interfere too much with how I'm using BR it's fine by me. John certainly seems to be serious about his work. I think that's basically the only way to do it with a project without a benevolent dictator. >> Do you have any TECHNICAL objections to the patch?

You already need to search package/, toolchain/ and target/ anyway. That doesn't sound like a real issue.

Bernard several times asked you to fork and do the atmel stuff in a seperate branch. I still don't think that's a good idea considering the limited amount of BR development ressources we have. Let's stop coloring the bike shed and move on to bigger stuff. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
