Why would a distro kernel maintainer want to keep the external overlayfs patches together with the now in kernel module? Isn't it enough to drop the external patches from distro kernels in order to use it successfully or are there any semantic changes hidden that an admin should know about? BTW: congrats to all involved parties. A layered filesystem finally arrived in the Linux kernel! This is a quantum leap for creative system architects.
