If "Flavor 1: Staging With Prompt" would be beneficial to the Linux 
kernel customers, in general, we should continue to review the change 
and merge it eventually.

My request, then, would be to split this patch set into 2 parts:

	Part 1: Implements "Staging With Prompt"

	Part 2: Implements "Stage and Delete N"

I think that would make it easier for reviewing the code, test\validate, 
and merge.

Thanks,
