BTW, how serious have you been back at KS when you were talking about pull requests killing a thousand of lines of code being acceptable at any point in the cycle? Because right now I'm sitting on a pile that removes 2-3 times as much (~-2KLoC for stuff that got considerable testing for most of the architectures, -3KLoC if I include fork/clone/vfork unification series) and seeing how maintainers of a bunch of embedded architectures seem to be MIA... The idea of saying "screw them" and sending a pull request becomes more and more tempting every day ;-) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
