(1) is a bit more subtle than that. Even when I do not foresee using a proposed feature myself, if I can imagine somebody else would benefit, and more importantly if I can see a healthy rationale behind the change so that I can convince myself to be an advocate of that change to the end users, such a change will fall into category (1). That is why I often ask people to justify their changes better than they originally do. Isn't the patch in question on 'pu' to be tried by interested parties already? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
