That sound suspiciously like "since this is a high priority, it

accepted later, so we can make it a lower priority." Help!
No, more like "I have way too much to do in the next week because I'm
out two days, and am required to finish an ethics course before the
30th." I don't think there's much to do to get this in shape, I just
don't want to make promises I can't keep.
But anyway, yes, we might have more time.
At the Kernel Summit Linus said he wants this kind of fix to go into
the
merge window rather than in the -rc series if possible. His position
was
that he'd rather revert a bad fix instead of delaying the testing in
the
mainline kernel...
So in light of Linus' stated position, it would be helpful for me (and
maybe others on the list) to have a good feel for when you guys are
planning to push your merge-window changes to Linus before each window
opens.
At the very least, since many of us do not follow LKML, would someone
commit to reflecting the LKML merge announcements to linux-nfs? Or is
there a kernel announcements list we can follow (or that we can
subscribe linux-nfs to)?
