I regret to report that I won't be able to tag 2.11-rc1 as scheduled in tinyurl.com/gitCal (I am feverish and my brain is not keeping track of things correctly) any time soon. I'll report back an updated schedule when able.
I'd appreciate that people keep discussing and exchanging patches that will not be in 2.11 final to give a head-start to topics so that people can agree on the designs and implementations in the meantime, but one thing I'd like to see when I come back is somebody tell me (when asked) what fix-up pathes that are "must to apply, or there is no point tagging 2.11-rc1 while keeping it broken" are found on the list. I am aware of only two right now ("cast enum to int to work around compiler warning", in Dscho's prepare sequencer series, and "wc -l may give leading whitespace" fix J6t pointed out in Lars's filter process series), but it is more than likely that I am missing a few more. Thanks. Going back to bed...
