One of the things I do is to act as backup for leaky maintainers. Many years experience with hundreds of maintainers teaches me that they all leak like sieves. Stuff which we *want* in the kernel would just get lost if we relied upon maintainers to be 100% lossless. Now, if both the Linux/ACPI maintainer and the ACPICA maintainer were lossless then OK, but that would be unprecedented in my experience. Even the best of the best (Mauro Chehab) loses stuff occasionally. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
