Ignore and snip all you want, but it doesn't change the fact you've been putting un-tested and un-reviewed junk into linux-next. That will need to stop immediately. If your employer is willing to make a commitment for QA and/or automation resources to regression test (at scale) these type of complex target changes, then I'd be much less concerned about things. If that is not the case, and you've got no production customers for LIO to answer to, and only doing small scale manual regression testing in your spare time, then the risk of regressions for your 'cleanups' in complex areas will continue to be an issue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
