This brings up a subject that could be good to discuss at KS: Do you want a backup to share your workload and for hand-off at times like this? You've been carrying the load of linux-next alone for years now, and having someone that can take over every now and then seems like a good idea. You've been doing an outstanding job but everybody need downtime sometimes. Linux-next is incredibly valuable for _so_ many of us, and a big part of the value is in the continuous frequent releases that allows us to catch issues quickly when they are staged, and keep bisectability as high as possible. It also helps us discover early on when someone is merging code through a maintainer they shouldn't (due to conflicts). It will be very much missed during your well-deserved vacation. -Olof -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
