I don't recall being asked; mind that I might not get to messages I have not been cc-ed in a timely manner and I may miss some altogether. With the amount of mailing list traffic that passes by me my scanner may fail to trigger. Sorry if this causes anybody trouble, but such is life. Coincidentally, I have just posted some notes on SYNC in a different thread, see <http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1601.3/03080.html>. There's a reference to an older message of mine there too. I hope this answers your questions.
