Just because I _submit_ them to Linus, that doesn't mean he automatically takes them. I only said I'd submit them directly to Linus because I _think_ he'd agree with Andrew and I, and take them despite your objections. And because I think that's the right thing for him to do. I wasn't going to hack hera and just put them into his tree by myself. But don't let me talk you out of taking the patches... :) > You just let me know when you think they are ready for inclusion. I'll do that; thanks. -- dwmw2
