mailing lists, hence I complain.
So, should I understand your words that you agree if I also start
sending intermediate patches for SCST to linux-scsi/linux-kernel?
<looking in as an outsider>
I am thoroughly surprised by this email exchange.
From where I sit, there is almost no such thing as posting patches too
early. Really. Transparency and early review/feedaback is by far
more important than ignoring a few more patches in an area you
don't careabout.
Sure. All projects (including LIO) have own mailing list(s) for such
review/feedback, but at the moment LIO and Linux kernel are completely
separated projects.
Anyway, I could just misunderstand the intention and policy of Linux
kernel mailing lists. I apologize, if so.
Your second paragraph makes me wonder if your email is more political
than technical in nature. But either way, you should feel encouraged
to release early, release often.
There's not much politic in it. Simply what Nicholas Bellinger does
violated my understanding of what allowed in Linux kernel mailing lists,
so I wondered, if what allowed for Nicholas Bellinger allowed for me as
well.
