Sometimes it's my problem, but not always. Then I get a note saying that pulling was disabled due to merge problems, usually right before -mmX goes out. So it misses that release. With bsg it wasn't a huge issue imho, since it was in fairly good shape and it the issue were mainly with integration. I do try to make sure stuff gets tested, but I also know which stuff is more important to get exposure and multi-user testing on. bsg wasn't one of those, it's just a lowly driver. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
