In particular Ævar's chopping allowed me to visualize what the patches were trying to do and it was much easier to review. Step by step. I don't know about others, but I think it's similar. > I don't dislike the reorganization, but I do still wonder whether it's > a setback to the progress the original series had made.

In an open source project nobody "owns" a set of patches, we can all work on them collaboratively. > I'll keep thinking on this over the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion. My suggestion is to not think about it too much. Just find what would be the next logical step to do on top of Ævar's base and simply do it (cherry-pick or rebase). By simply trying it out you would get a much better idea of how the series could progress to the end-goal you have in mind. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
