There is a lot of chaos and keeping on top of it all is a pain, and nobody has it easy. Andrew probably wins award for the biggest challenge. My todo list pales in comparison. I only have 80+ patches in my queue that I need to reviewed and then pushed upstream. 50 sysfs patches to review and get a handle on so hopefully we can out of the sysfs quagmire. Plus I don't know how many little gotchas that need to be fixed with a new patch of their own. It's coming together but it takes time. David, Andrew thanks you both are really are good upstream maintainers to work with. Eric
