Perhaps not, but self-conflicts are the bigger issue for the networking. If I (or Jeff or John) push a bug fix to you outside of the merge window, that blows the entire development tree because at 1500+ changesets I can guarentee you there will be a merge conflict somewhere. Near the end of 2.6.24 every bug fix I merged to you created a conflict with my net-2.6.25 tree. Every time I rebased there were on the order of 10 to 20 patches with merge conflicts to resolve. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
