I don't know about anybody else, but I get so many of the patch-bot patches for stable etc that I will *not* reply to normal cases. Only if there's some issue with a patch will I reply. I probably do get more than most, but still - requiring active participation for the steady flow of normal stable patches is almost pointless. Just look at the subject line of this thread. The numbers are so big that you almost need exponential notation for them. Linus
