That's what I've been saying... The devs have their own packages to worry |
| 12 |
about, and GKH has the kernels still there plus being the head driver guy |
| 13 |
on the mainline kernel, plus his SuSE stuff (his paying job), and all the |
| 14 |
other stuff (stable-line patchset, udev, a bunch of other single-shot |
| 15 |
stuff he volunteers for) he does around the kernel, to worry about. The |
| 16 |
last thing they need to worry about is a bunch of kernel guys' |
| 17 |
ever-changing patchsets, where they aren't judged mainline kernel worthy |
| 18 |
just yet. |

(BTW, could you please set your client, gmail it would appear, to not emit |
| 21 |
HTML in posts to the list? Gentoo doesn't seem as strict about it as many |
| 22 |
community lists do, but many consider HTML mail the domain of crackers and |
| 23 |
spammers, believing if someone has to use HTML, the real content can't be |
| 24 |
worth one's time to read in the first place, and therefore killfile it, as |
| 25 |
I do on my mail client. The only reason I see your message here is |
| 26 |
because I'm reading the list as a newsgroup, on gmane, not as mail.) |
