I post my patches here in case somebody else need them. In general, I really support your "let's kick ancient crap out" approach. But could you please be a bit more verbose, and sell your patchset a bit better. E.g., write about who will suffer - which kernel versions? Why you think we should not care about them suffering? Please, write a good explanation. Then I'll try to bug dwmw2 to ack or nack this. And then I can push it. Although I have push rights to the mtd-utils, but I am a bit usure about pushing your stuff. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
