I obviously approve of that series whole-heartedly, but I still didn't want to apply it this way (and with this kind of "mid-rc" timing). I was hoping to just leave it for the next merge window, but there are now two independent problems that that forced COW patch of mine caused, and a plain revert isn't acceptable either, so I've just applied that series to my tree despite the garbage timing. Maybe I'm just making excuses and rationalizing because I wanted that series anyway, and patches that remove lines in core code make me happy, but I don't see other great alternatives. Linus
