I understand that subsystem maintainers aggregate changes which then are aggregated in turn by Linus, but beyond that I have no understanding of the flow. Also: Thank you very much for all your help. I've made several kernel modules over the years, but never submitted any of them for inclusion because I had the (it seems false) impression that the linux kernel development process was full of angry people who would make it unpleasant. Glad to learn that this is just a myth! I will probably contribute more patches in the future. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
