Yes, which is why I've been accepting his kernel patches the entire time that user-space has been forked into -fb. Now that the user-space code has been relicensed as promised, there is no longer any reason for a separate -fb fork to exist. That said, it's time to start moving forward toward a single set of source trees for upstream userspace, so that all distributions can mutually benefit from the effort. As mentioned above, this has so far not been enough to get -fb reconciled with upstream. So I don't consider the above 'holding for ransom' or any nonsense like that, considering the end goal is for everyone (not just Fedora) to benefit from -fb. --nab -- 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
