That means I cannot grep for search-patterns I like (here: LKML). Offline-reading also means, you get replies a lot of later. NO, I am not planning to flood my INBOX with postings from LKML :-). I highly suggest to send -next patches also to LKML. Patchwork-service [1] makes it easy to get them in mbox-format for easy application. FYI: I am subscribed to linux-next ML and some other "smaller" linux-* MLs. I dunno why Linux-Next hasn't join patchwork-service. Stephen? Also think of multiple postings of patches for the same issue :-). ...and lame and/or disappeared maintainers.
