You miss the point. We reject code which breaks existing functionality. > I'd like to hear Linus come out and say, "Sorry Thomas we can't include > your HRT cause we're getting a newer HRT in three years, so sorry about > that." Good point. HRT is mainline and it went through 300+ patch queues release cycles until the last bits got finaly merged. I appreciate your competent input how to do mainline development on large scale projects. In hindsight I regret that I did not hire you as my personal "get HRT merged" assistant. That would have saved me a lot of trouble and time.
