Quite frankly, This whole thing came as a huge-huge surprise to us, we did not initiate upstreaming of exfat/sdfat code and, as of this moment, I'm not exactly sure that we are prepared for any immediate radical changes to our internal development process which people all of a sudden want from us. I need to discuss with related people on internal thread. please wait a while:) Thanks! > > regards, > dan carpenter >
