In the past there was a strong tendence that people were sending me patches for 2.6.$(n + 1) only after 2.6.n was released. That's a bit painful for me as it leaves me only the merge window to sort out all the dependencies and issues that may arise from those patches and oh yes, sometimes my employer wants me something else to do in the same time. So if you have patches pending, send them in time. I can always drop stuff for $(n + 1) in the -queue tree even when we're in deep freeze. Think of it as the Linux/MIPS -mm tree. Also it's high time to get all fixes for 2.6.22 upstream so if you have something send it ASAP, if you think I may have lost it send again. Thanks, Ralf
