What I posted is what I'm *proposing* for 3.11. You can't have an
agreement with first having a proposal....

Ben, I think you're being a little melodramatic here. I asked Jeff
if it was OK to rebase his patchset, and he said that was fine:

http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/xfs/2013-June/027270.html

You don't have to take my rebase of Jeff's patches - you're welcome
to take them direct from Jeff, but then I'll have to send reviews
asking for changes to problems I found when integrating it so that's
going to delay any integration you can do of that series. Please let
Jeff and myself know what you want to do here...

You are making a mountain out of a molehill. I had an itch, and I
scratched it. Simple as that. It is only a couple of days work.

If you think it's too much for 3.11, then just say so and leave it
at that. I'll move it to my for-3.12 queue and you won't see it
again until after 3.11-rc1 is released...

Cheers,

Dave.
