Even the oldest (which had comments so I'll probably drop from my queue) are less than 2 weeks old. I don't have any unapplied patches from you in my queue. There are certain subsystems that do not have an active maintainer right now. Really there is no solution for this without something stepping up to active maintain those subsystems. That basically requires someone devoting some time to maintaining a queue for that subsystem. Regards, Anthony Liguori > > > >
