Lukas, are you going to be providing a new version of these patch series or not? If you are, could you do it as a separate patch series, instead of only updating one patch as a reply to the mail thread. When people do this, I find it painful since I need to figure out, "ok, I need v2 of the 1/4 patch, v3 of the 2/4 patch, v4 of the 3/4 patch, and v3 of of the 4/4 patch. To provide context, please add version descriptors after the --- of the patch. (i.e, "v3 --> v4; fixed commit message") Also, if we're going to be doing extended review of patches like this, instead of my just fixing things up when I pull stuff in, people need to start authoring patches ***much*** sooner. Doing multiple publish and review cycles now that the merge window is open really doesn't work. One way of solving this in the future is to simply not take any patch that is first submitted after say, -rc5 or -rc6 until the next merge window. But given that some patches didn't *start* getting much review until 2-3 weeks ago, that wouldn't be entirely fair. But for the next merge window, if this is going to work, we need people submitting patches earlier, and people reviewing patches earlier.
