So it's .19 material, for what we can have ready before the .19 merge window. All drivers need to be converted, this is a significant amount of work. Also the change is likely to break other patches, so I don't want to wait for all drivers to be converted to push all the patches - this would block too many other patches. We can make several batches, one for .19 and one or more after that. A summary would be: ".19 at earliest, then as soon as possible, as time permits". This is a background job, we have many other, more important things in the works. > Apologies for making this more *in-need-of-feedback* than it has to be, > but I guess I cant quite resist.. No worry, getting feedback is the point of posting to a mailing list :) -- Jean Delvare
