If they insist on being this sluggish I'd suggest that you review the patch yourself then just merge it. That will get their attention.

So in a CONFIG_HOTPLUG kernel, hotplugging a new device (on sbus, ok, bad example ;)) will crash. But Adrian has fixed six such bugs in there, maybe one of them can hit. I don't think we've fixed these by alternative means, unless we've disabled __devinit? Still, we can discuss specific patches all day. I think there is a _general_ problem getting bugfixes, warning fixes and cleanups into scsi drivers within reasonable amounts of time? - 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
