I would like to reboot this. I would question some of these statements that are conditioned by history: Greg repeatedly stated that he hated PR and prefers patches. So to work with NuttX people sent patches. This is a fresh start, and the value of it is to be able to ASK the group what their preferred workflow would be and WHY. Then discuss the merits, educate each other on the value of approaches and then make an informed decisions.
