Thanks for the nice comment :-) Please note that I did not work on 2.6.16, Adrian did, I only worked on .20 and .27. Yes I'm still interested in taking over 2.6.32 when you give it up. I must admit I've got quite silent last months, slowly trying to find time to backport 2.6.32 fixes into .27, and still a bit afraid by the added complexity of the new publication model. Time will tell. This weel-end I hope to be able to produce 2.6.27.60-rc1. What is very important to me is that I want people to complain if they find that I'm too slow, as I don't want to degrade the quality of the stable series by taking a position someone would take better. Thanks, Willy
