So far as I've been told, it takes many many months for Luc to get a response on things he sends upstream, then gets some stylistic feedback, fixes it, resubmits, and then has to wait another couple of months. For this reason, people get fed up and are then inclined to diverge. This is a bummer, as it'd be preferable to have quick review cycles and thus continuous merging. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
