The first question when only one patch in a > series is visible is always what are the interdependencies. Not sure what is best to do. If the cover letter goes to everyone, it could be rejected for too many recipients. Currently it goes to all the mailing lists. If the patches are sent separately, then could there be a cover letter for each one? If the semantic patch is complicated, then I typically put the whole thing there, and an abbreviated one in the actual patch. That is not relevant here, because the semantic patch is small. Part of the purpose of the cover letter was to allow people who were not interested to skip over the whole thing at once. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
