Greg always (except if there is a mistake) applies things in first come first serve order. He doesn't sort them. > Assuming these bug fixes are in scope of the staging tree. Should I > continue to push this work first? You've pushed a bunch of stuff. I don't know which stuff has been applied and which has not. If no one replied to it and there isn't a dire issue such as a compile failure or it doesn't apply then Greg is likely to apply it. He doesn't silently patches, so you will get an email either way. regards, dan carpenter
