If no one responds, then 2. submit a patch to put an entry in feature-removal-schedule.txt giving a description of what will be removed and when - and then flag it with a patch to remove it. If no one responds to that, then 3. the patch to remove it re-posted, and if no one objects it gets merged. So, if people care about bits of code _and_ they're not on the relevant subsystem mailing lists, they need to keep an eye on the feature removal file - otherwise they're in for nasty surprises. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
