Reading the above it occurs to me you are aiming for "flag-day patches". Try to keep in sync with main-line instead is a *much* better approach. If you are having troubles getting your patches applied, maybe it's due to the size anyway. See how Martin does it for S390 for example. 5-20 paches each 3 weeks in average. And he gets good feedback - also from others than hch. Developing everything in vacuum is the wrong approach, and does not give you any feedback from the community - or at least you get it only indirect with patches that hch creates. Sam
