This series has the odd situation where patch 1 is threaded to the cover letter, but nothing else is - that makes it inconsistent. Where I've seen people disagree with threading is when sending follow-up series - whether that should be threaded to the previous series or not - some people want it others hate it. However, I haven't seen any disagreement is about having the patches threaded to the cover. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
