So while we've not used it directly, we have definitely used the content on that branch (i.e. rebasing to latest stable and logistical details like that that would preclude direct use). And while having it on 3.4-rt-features wasn't critically important, in that the content was obviously present on newer releases, it did add a certain value in the fact that folks in the know were indicating that the backports made sense, and it wasn't just me alone wondering if the backport was valid. With all the RT releases, and doing some stable baseline releases to support them that you do, I'd not want to say that 3.4-rt-features should get any special attention. But at the same time, I'd not want you to think it was a complete waste of time either. I expect it is the same for others, but in the typical haste of getting things done, and the general level of "silent" users that was discussed at RTLWS, I do suspect that once again, unfortunately nobody has bothered to actually explicitly say "hey, thanks - we are glad this exists". So, I'll start -- thanks Steve. :) Too little, too late? Perhaps. But better late than never, I hope. ` Paul.
