It looks like the design for this is still under discussion and that
new patches of whatever is decided upon will be forthcoming
eventually.
Can I ask you guys a huge favor? DO NOT quote the entire patch when
discussing these changes.
The thread for patch #1 was so time consuming to scan and read in
patchwork because you guys did this.
I know it takes a little bit more work to select and delete the patch
content in the quoted area, but you really have to do this because
otherwise it is a huge burden for reviewers trying to follow the
conversation.
Thanks.
