I can confirm that it will remain unified.

I agree with this. I have also expressed that I would like email based code reviewed to remain fully supported. I think some people want to investigate gerrit at some point, and I don't know how that would be implemented. I hope it would not mean that patches will be posted in gerrit, and no notice will appear on the email list. I strongly doubt that gerrit will be set up at the initial git cut-over point, so at least initially email patches will be the only option. -Jordan _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
