Well, if it makes my maintenance task more difficult without any
gain whatsoever obviously thats not going to happen, sorry.

Hmm - well, I could CC the mail I send Linus to xfs@oss if there's
enough interest (fsdevel doesn't sound right to me), but the full
patchset gets way too large (like when dir1 got removed the other
day...), and interested people can easily get that anyway, so just
hasn't seemed worth it.

Er, such as?  And why not point these things out at the time,
when people are working on it and committing the changes (and
sending commit mail to xfs@oss), instead of this odd vague
reference now?
