Hi Wim. I think that's wise. I've got all the changes that people have CC'd me. I expect it'll be an all or nothing sort of thing. Even if it's nothing, the content tracking parts might be useful if another of the proposals floating 'round gets implemented. I personally find the distributed MAINTAINERS approach a bit odd given that there isn't really a single place for many of the parts of a maintained block to be. The single MAINTAINERS is too "hot" to use Linus' word. I rather like the Maintainers/* block approach myself. Unless that's rejected out of hand, that's what I'll submit tomorrow. cheers, Joe
