It's like to convey the sense of urgency -- with the amount of patches, automated reviews, and follow-ups being sent daily, having all of them land on LKML and delivered to 2000+ subscribers... is not sustainable. At this point, I'm very close to outright banning subscriptions from gmail, outlook and yahoo addresses. Not sending every single patch to the LKML is a better way to deal with this. -K
